Stranger Things Review

After seeing so much buzz on social media about the show, I thought to give it a try and it didn't disappoint me. Every character has played their role really well, was about as perfect as you could ask for. The show is the combination of both funny and scary moments that really pulls everything together.

Season 1 starts with Will lost in Upside Down and how his friends bring him back from Upside Down make the whole story of fir st season. There were few instances where you were really amazed with the things going forward, be it the way Will mother talking to him in Upside Down or how El used his powers to help Mike to know where Will is. The first season belongs to El, her friendship with Mike, the way she fought with Hawkins Laboratory scientists. But there were few things in the last episode that didn't make any sense like why Demogorgon didn't attack on Hopper and Joyce in Upside Down and how El got full strength to fight Demogorgon when he is not able to stand 2 minutes prior. But overall, first season is exciting enough to make you wait for further seasons.

Season 2 is mainly revolves around Will where he got affected by a virus from shadow monster and used him to destroy the Hawkins. How Mike and his team helped Will to destroy the shadow monster and remove virus from Will's body makes the story of second season. Also, it revolves the story of how Nancy and Jonathan bring the reality of Hawkins laboratory to the public and prove that they killed Barb. The season becomes better with every passing episode and similarly to season 1, the last episode was amazing with El using all her powers to close the gate. The depressing moment of the season when Bob got killed. He is really a superhero that everyone will remember in this show forever.

Overall the last episode "The Gate" wrap up the story nicely with lots of compelling possibilities for Season 3.
