Stranger Things is a show made by the Duffer Brothers. It was released to netflix on July 15, 2016. It has 2 seasons out so far and season 3 has already been confirmed to come out out this year! When they made the show they had no idea how big it would be. The brothers figured that it would be another show on netflix. But when the reviews came flying in they new that they had made something popular. The show is about a kid named Will disappering. No ones knows where he is and lots suspect he is dead. But his group of freinds belive that he is still alive somewhere. Then they run into Eleven, a girl who may know where Will has disapered. Season 2 has has a different storyline but I can't explain it since it would be full of spoilers!

The main cast is Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin), Finn Wolfhard (Mike), Caleb Mclaughlin (Lucas), Noah Schnap (Will), and David harbour (Officer Hopper). They all have different personalitys and nothing like the characters they play. They have gone on lots and lots of talk shows and have even won a few rewards. Its probably the most popular show of this century (and one of the better shows that netflix has)
heres a link of the cast on a talk show.

The fandom (fan base) is huge! Lots of people love to cosplay and make fan art of the characters. The reason why a lot of people enjoy the show is not only because of the story line but because it takes place in the 80's. My parents watched it together and they said it brought back lots of memories from the 80's espically the soundtrack. There is also lots of merchendise such as pop figurines and clothing. The best place to shop for this merchendise is at hot topic. They sell the pop figurines and they also have they're own line of clothing. They are usally expensive but it's worth it. In overall I love this show and I can't wait for the next season.
