Stranger Things

One day when a young boy disappears and a girl with superpowers appears, the town of Hawkins, Indiana finally opens its eyes to the fact that there has been illegal experimentation going on in their town. It also does not help this fact that the chief of police is a habitual drunk and has a healthy narcissistic view on life part of the time. The only people that seem worried that Will Byers disappeared are his family and his friends. Everyone else is worried it will happen to them or their family. Will Byers disappears under unnatural circumstances and most people just dismiss it as running away from home. His friends and mother do not think the same way. They have a more pessimistic viewpoint on Will not running away. They know Will and know he would not do that. After doing some investigation, however, the police start to realize that this was something more than what they originally believed. With the appearance of the enhanced girl named Eleven, many people start to realize there is something strange going on. This also leads to Hopper, chief of police, to start to suspect the involvement of the local national laboratory. While the police are investigating, Will’s mom starts to experience paranormal phenomena with the lights in their house. Mike is Will’s best friend and interacts with Eleven the most. Also Mike’s sister, Nancy, and her friend Barbara went to a party at the house of Nancy’s new boyfriend, Steve. While there, Barbara get abducted by the monster that took Will. Will’s friends slowly start to piece together the story with the help of their dungeons and dragons background with the help of Eleven. There is an attempt made to save Will from the realm known as “The Upside Down”, which is the monster’s realm. Some people go through the portal that is in the lab. Meanwhile, government agents are looking for Eleven and have traded the access to the portal for Eleven’s location. Season Two has the same characters, but with the addition of a few characters, has the premise that the events in the first season were only the beginning. There is a lot more to come, and Will will be a central part in the follow through of these events. Will has been going to the lab to receive treatments and to be tested. Eleven is also very keen on finding her family but she is too naive. When she finally finds one of her “sisters” she is brought into this crew of misfits that use powers for evil. Eleven does not like this and decides to leave due to the fact that she wants to be back in Hawkins. While she is away, Will has many visions of a huge spider looking thing that stands taller than all of the trees. Many strange events happen while all of this is going on, like pumpkin patch dying. The resolution to both of these season makes it all worth it to watch both season and have you hungry for more.
