Set in Hawkins, Indiana, “Stranger Things” begins its first series in 1983 with the subsequent seasons covering the years of 1984 and 1985. The series was created by the Duffer brothers Matt and Ross.

In the series, a young boy, Will Byers, goes missing near a top secret government laboratory on the same night a strange girl named, Eleven or “Elle,” appears at a diner in the town. 

Will’s friends Dustin, Mike, and Lucas, all desperately search to find him in the first series, along with Will’s family. 

Will is discovered in “Upside Down” which has a connection to the character named Eleven, but what they soon find out is that the “Upside Down” soon starts to become part of their world.

As the series goes on, the “Upside Down” becomes more and more involved in the lives of the people of Hawkins, and begins to unleash its monsters into their world.

One of the many memorable moments from the show is when Joyce finds her son Will and they begin their journey to retrieve him.

Another memorable moment from the show is when Jim “Hopper” declares he will become Eleven’s parental guardian and takes care of her as a father figure. 

One of the more weak and sad moments of the show is when Joyce’s old boyfriend Bob dies so Joyce can live, saving her from a deadly monster from the “Upside Down.”

Another weak point of the show is when Dr. Alexei one of the sweeter characters who works for the Russian Government is shot and killed at a fair, he was an adored character whose death was tragic.

Overall, with each upcoming season the show just gets better and better; it never seems to get boring. In fact, with each episode things seem to be getting more and more interesting. 

One of the best scenes is when Eleven steals a box of Eggo Waffles using her powers, as it is her favorite thing to eat and must fend for herself in some moments.
