For the blog this week I will be talking about Stranger Things season 1. Season 1 gives us something that we have never seen before with a unique story, dramatic and lovable characters, and a whole new world. The story follow a group of kids: Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Will and what happens when the Dungeons and Dragons Demogorgon becomes real.
The title of the first episode of the series tells you the main premise of the show: Episode 1: The Vanishing of Will Byers. With Will being missing we are introduce to my favorite character of whole show, Hopper. Hopper is the chief of police in Hawkins, and is the head of the search for Will. We are also introduced to Will’s mother, Joyce, who shows that she will find Will no matter what she has to do. Even going into the Upside Down.
The Upside Down is a new environment that I had never heard of before until viewing season 1. The Upside Down is a reverse world in which all of the buildings are there but they are all overgrown with an odd plant life. Almost looking like there are tentacles of some larger being all over the ground. In this space the Demogorgon can travel and hunt as it pleases, as well as enter the real world, because it attracted by electricity.
Then there is Eleven. Eleven is one of, if not ,the biggest bad asses in all of entertainment. Eleven has telekinetic powers so she is the muscle of the search party. He backstory also helps show why she is the way that she is. She has been experimented on for her entire life, like the other 10 before her. Her abilities have been perfected though, unlike her brothers and sisters. Lastly, at the end of the series, she sacrifices herself to save the rest of the group and kill the Demogorgon.
Season 1 of Stranger Things show how relationships can prevail against any enemy or struggle and that all ups come with downs. Mike finally got his friend back, but at the loss of Eleven.
