The show revolves around a small town named Hawkins where the local lab was able to interact with another world where a new creature, or creatures, where able to enter our universe and began hunting people and children for food. One of which is a child named Will Byers who was cycling home after he hung out with his peers. His mother hysterically searches for him even after his burial when his body was "found". Will's friends, Mike, Lucas and the ever adorable Dustin, come across a girl named Eleven, nicknamed El, who has escaped the labs and it is revealed she has some supernatural capabilities of telekinesis and telepathy. And she is the only one who can communicate with the parallel universe found.
The acting and choice of cast is beyond brilliant, that is what really makes the show. I think the kids especially are absolutely outstanding, I predict a very bright and successful future in the entertainment business. What I didn't enjoy was that the show was a tad bit slow for me. I don't really enjoy alien-related storylines so that also threw me off but EVERYONE was talking about this show, so I had to. I have to say though, it is quite predictable as well. What I want to know though is (SPOILER) what is so special about Will? Why didn't the faceless thing eat him?
I did also enjoy the throwback eighties feel, very much so. It was refreshing actually. I think the over hyped excitedness of it didn't live up to what I imagined. I don't know if I will actually watch the next season. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
