Stranger Things – set in 1983 and centred round a group of kids in the small Indiana town of Hawkins and their search for their friend Will who vanishes as he cycles home one night – channels the spirits of the celluloid storytellers who dominated the era.

The Duffers manage that quite well, too, thanks to a fine sense of restraint that increasingly seems a lost art these days.

Variety

'Stranger Things' is the kind of genre entertainment that doesn’t forget the second word of that phrase, but it is primarily interested in watching believably flawed people wrestle with the idea that some things are unknowable.

IGN

Stranger Things manages to create a compelling world of its own, centered around a group of very relatable, likable characters.

I wasn't expecting this nostalgic TV show could be this good. In my opinion technical details in first season was not that charming but not only storyline that gets stranger, also all the technical details getting stranger.

Stranger Things Season 3 is the series' best outing so far, with bigger stakes and stronger character development.

It's quite intense drama, thoroughly absorbing, the kind of show you can't help but binge watch.
