Stranger Things Season 1 (Review) – A Fantastic Homage to the 80s

Stranger Things is a sci-fi-horror television show created, written and directed by the Duffer Brothers.This show was a phenomenon when it was released last summer and was widely praised for its writing, acting, visuals and its ability to recapture the 1980s and pay homage to it. I enjoyed it : （1）Plot：the story focuses on the disappearance of a young boy and a mysterious government agency covering up this disappearance in addition to a supernatural threat. （2）Child acting: This TV series established a great dynamic between a very young cast of kids and making them really likeable. （3）Homage to the 1980s：As you can see, this show has a lot of great qualities, the biggest of which was its ability to make me feel nostalgic for 1980s pop culture. It does a really good job of paying respect to the 1980s while being its own unique show at the same time.
