"Stranger things" is one of the best suspense thrillers you can watch on Netflix ; there is absolutely no doubt about it.
The cinematography of the show is on point, the transitions between scenes are smooth and there is no confusion in understanding the story in any episodes.
Can you relate to me if I say that when you see a ghost or a monster for too long in a scene it stops being scary to you, flashes of horrifying elements are much scarier than long sequences? well, the director of the show does relate to me on that ; The duffer brothers have not made the mistake a single time in the show.
Now ! for the story, well , since this is a "before you watch" I wouldn't be giving you too many spoilers
But all you need to know that you've got a lot of unexpected twists and turns coming at you so buckle up
the story is slow and steady at the same time and you would never wanna get your face away from the screen
The characters are felt for exactly the way they should be
from the lovable characters of Dustin, Lukas, and Mike to the complete hatred felt for Dr.Brenner
the actors do justice to all of them
especially, Milly Bobby Brown, who has done acting as an Amazing job at being innocent, clueless, amazing and awesome character Eleven
And the second season is even more power-packed than the first one and is one hell of a joyride
IT IS A MUST WATCH
If I were a professional critic I would have given it a solid 9/10
P.S- your opinions on the characters will change drastically in the second season after watching the first one .
