If ever a project was created solely to entertain me it
was this one. This is now in my top
three favorite shows on TV. Netflix, I
don’t know where you found these guys, but the Duffer Brothers are for
real. Here it is a blending of Stephen
King, Spielberg, and everything ‘80s to make a horror/science fiction
spectacular unlike anything I’ve seen (even though its spawned from everything
I’ve seen). Three middle school
friends, Mike, Dustin and Lucas, try to find their friend, Will, who
mysteriously disappeared one night after playing a game of Dungeons and
Dragons. Meanwhile a strange young girl
without a name escapes a nearby top-secret base where something very bad has
been unleashed. Winoma Ryder returns in
full-on- crazy-mom-searching-for-her-son mode and David Harbour plays the
police chief trying to get to the bottom of many strange things (hee hee). There are not that many shows I want to
re-watch after seeing them. This is one
of them. The chemistry with the cast is
great. The monster is actually very
scary. I could see this being the next
big show. It’s wonderful. Can I just write that over and over again in
a blog? It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful,
it’s freaking wonderful! Grade: A
