In a small town where everyone knows everyone, a peculiar incident starts a chain of events that leads to the disappearance of a child, which begins to tear at the fabric of an otherwise peaceful community. Dark government agencies and seemingly malevolent supernatural forces converge on the town, while a few of the locals begin to understand that there's more going on than meets the eye. —Charles J.

Trivia
The set for Starcourt Mall in season 3 is a real derelict mall on the outskirts of Atlanta called Gwinnett Place Mall. It was originally built in 1984, but has been largely abandoned since late 2018. The production team on Stranger Things built 40 storefronts with full interiors to create the authentic looking 80s mall.

Goofs
During a number of episodes, people are seen 'interrupting' someone talking on a two way radio or CB - that is, one person is talking/transmitting, and another person transmits to interrupt them, and then the other person hears this interruption and stops transmitting. This was done a few times on the kid's CB radios, and on the radios used by the police. Those radios - the CB and the police radios of the era from the show - don't work like that. If you are transmitting, and someone else transmits, you will not hear them.

Quotes
Eleven: Friends don't lie.

Crazy credits
The Stranger Things opening titles and fonts mimic the film grain and look of 1980's television series opening credits.

10/10

Netflix Nails it again.

It can hook you immediately, everything seems fitting , the setting , the acting , the direction. Just as it should be. Bringing out the perfect blend of 1980s nostalgia. It gives mixture of taste of big 80's movies.

You immediately get hooked with the story , which is amazing because it takes time for me to get invested in a story.

I have been a fan of David Harbour Since the Newsroom , and he is just amazing.

You're scared , Intrigued , you're completely invested. With perfect setting.

I am really looking forward to where this goes from here on in.
