Aug 6, 2016Another brilliant, A+ show from Netflix. You can tell it was made with love. Likeable characters, great actors and some genuinely frightening scenes, all wrapped up in 80's nostalgia.

Aug 11, 2016If you want to watch something entertaining and powerful, this is the show for you. A great direction and cast makes this love letter to the 80s a wonderful series to watch. I can only recommend everyone, even those not fans of the genre, to support this great creation.

Aug 8, 2016If your idea of a good show is Spongebob Squarepants, or your favorite movie is Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, then WARNING! Do not watch this!
Everyone else, on the other hand, should watch this and have a great time. Awesome Show. It's not "Game of Thrones" awesome, but it's just a darn good time from start to finish. -

Aug 8, 2016This show is really a "one in a million" kind of show. While watching this show, I felt apart the their world. I went on a journey with cast. Aside from all the wonder, this show proves that nostalgia does not mean reboot.

Aug 9, 2016One word: Nostalgia. It takes me back to the 80s and i love it. Back when kids communicate trough walkie-talkies and not smart phones and when we went biking trough the woods with friends, not search for a Pokemon on your own. It's a good story and I enjoyed it. It had everything the classic sci-fi/horror movies used to have.
-
Aug 12, 2016The acting, the cinematography, the writing and pacing, the directing, and the killer music are all the key qualities of this short, sweet, amazingly produced love letter to the timeless sci-fi and mysteries of the 70's and 80's. Do yourself a favor, it's not a long show. Just bloody watch it.
-
Aug 15, 2016Best show ever. Everything about this show is amazing: the cast, the Duffer Brothers, the score, the story, the 80s nostalgia. It is fantastic; the kids were great, and the combination of mystery, horror, adventure, comedy, romance, and grief is perfect. I really enjoyed the show so much.
-
Aug 24, 2016Great new netflix show that has an exciting plot and excellent acting... especially from the kid actors they all were believable .....,...., 10/10!!!!
-
Aug 18, 2016Perfection. Capturing everything that was great about film in the 80's. Stunning visually... like it stepped out of time. This is great story-telling. Completely engaging from the opening scene to the ending credits.
-
Aug 19, 2016Amazing show! ii waiting for season 2!! it left us on a cliff hanger~!! we must know!! Bring us season two! this show i highly recommend to everyone to watch!
-
Aug 21, 2016Ambitious and excellent. And a great blast of nostalgia for anyone who grew up in the '80's. Completely binge-worthy; fingers-crossed for a sequel. Great casting, movie-caliber cinematography.
-
Aug 22, 2016One of the best tv shows I've seen. It really is "must see tv". The story is great, the acting is great, from both kids and adults and the series duration (8 episodes for Season 1) is just right.
-
Aug 26, 2016Ugh! I LOVE this show! Watching it for the second time as I write this. The acting in this show is superb and I'm blown away with how awesome it's filmed. I recommend this show to EVERYONE! One of my favorite shows!!!!

Oct 1, 2016Una idea fresca y original del genero de terror. Los 8 capitulos tienen la dosis correcta de suspenso para capturar el interes del espectador, por no mencionar los multiples guiños a los iconos de los 80s.
-
Sep 28, 2016Flawless. The acting is great, from everyone. The story is scary, emotional, hopeful, compelling. The writing is accurate and feels real. The music is fantastic and feels perfect for the times (80's). I thought The Night Of was good, then I watched this. The Night Of can't even touch Stranger Things.

Oct 10, 2016The show was ok. I did not find it as amazing as everybody is saying it to be. Heavily inspired from other shows like Fringe. I was a bit disappointed when I watched the first episode as I had assumed it to be a horror show which isn't.
But that being said, I liked the way character were portrayed and the pace at which story progresses. It nicely wraps up the things at the end. -
Aug 27, 2017Let me go all caps on this... I LOVE IT! 10/10 all in. Excellent setting, location, cast, visuals, and not to mention the kids have amazing character arcs. This season doesn't only give you horror sci-fi but makes you understand childhood friendship.
-
Dec 6, 2017Fine history, perfectly given plot and good acting. Excellent story about friendship of teenagers and eccentric woman. Action looks live and captures literally you. It is impossible to come off. Perhaps the best series of Netflix in 2016.
-
Dec 22, 2016I really did love this show! It kept me thinking and wanting to know more, at first I was confused on what was going on. I highly think they need to make more seasons and make it a big series. I want to watch more.

Jan 30, 2017Stranger Things is a very entertaining show. It's very formulaic, but it is still gripping all of the time with its sparks of science fiction, fantasy, and even horror.

Apr 14, 2017The drama and Horror could be better in this TV Show but in the end its a very solid one. Some characters could be better with only Mike, Eleven and Chief impressing me. Although, each episode makes you wanna watch more because of its interesting story and suspense.

Dec 31, 2017La historia, la ambientación, los personajes, los dialogos, la fotografia, todo en esta temporada fue casi perfecto, la disfrute muchisimo, la vi en apenas unos días y a pesar que algun episodio me parecio tonto y forzado (ep. 5) el resto me convenció al 100% a lo mejor quitando el final en si que no me gustó demasiado.

Jul 9, 2017A favorite of offbeat sci-fi loving people. Great cast of interesting characters. Well scripted and engaging. Took a few shows to get hooked, but looking forward to next season!
-
Nov 14, 2017Simplemente fantástica. La trama te engancha desde el primer capitulo hasta el ultimo y no hay ningún tipo de "relleno", todos los capítulos son muy directos y muy frenéticos. La guinda es el gran final tan abierto que deja la serie en el ultimo capitulo.

Oct 31, 2017MAGIC. That's the word that suits better to this TV show. All have that 80 feeling, the story, the music, the art, the photo, the characters, the bad guys... it's a tv show made with lots of talent for people that love cinema.

Nov 12, 2017Its the best show on Netflix right now. the 80s Nostalgia and the references to other 80s movies is all you need. Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven is the Star of the Show.

Nov 26, 2017The first season of Stranger Things was about as good as a TV show can get, and is a 10/10, in my opinion. It was never boring, and always had be on the edge of my seat. I also loved the 1980's vibe this show had.

Jan 14, 2018It could be said it is a well done mix of all the pop culture we loved in the 80´s. But for me is far more than that. The acting, the visuals, the music, the story, this is a well crafted creative effort made by the rising stars, The Duffer Brothers. Netflix's best original series by a whole lot. Powerful. Stunning. Thrilling.

Jul 22, 2018Impossible not to love this series. It has everything a fanboy wants ... From suspense to romance. Very good use of colors, majestic shots and performances that will leave you speechless.
-
Jan 21, 2018Stranger Things is a fantastic show that has great characters, a great setting that is nostalgic without taking away from the plot, and mysteries that will keep you wondering. It's short 8 episode season allows for a very condensed plot that always keeps things moving. The supernatural mixing with the real world is a great premise.

-
May 30, 2018I was happy to have an end and not just a meaningless end to give continuity, this is expensive, it is a good series as far as possible.
-
May 11, 2019The show is about a boy named Will who got lost in the woods, atleast we think so.
The mystery behind the lab and the characters and their developments over the show feel natural and as realistic as it can be. One of the best shows on Netflix. -
Apr 25, 2018A good show overall. Although maybe the hype of the people doesn't really help with uplifting the material itself. Not nearly perfect at all but the characters are lovable and the nostalgia it gives is special for me.
-
Jul 27, 2019This was truly one of the biggest surprises of the year when I originally watched this, and it remains as one of my favorite seasons of sci-fi television ever.

May 20, 2018Una de mis series favoritas, Si juntamos el misterio y lo sobrenatural nos sale Stranger Things, una de las mejores series de Netflix.

May 23, 2018This show is so highly acclaimed that it should spur us to ask: should we annul all child labour laws?

Dec 15, 2018A atmosfer in this serial a very special and good.
Wiew now!
the best serial all the time! -
Aug 19, 2018It's cool but nothing from the other wold. We have seen these series concept a lot of times after this one. The 80s touch is amazing, we can't deny that.
-
Aug 29, 2018What is there to hate about Stranger Things? I mean sure there are plot holes, some bad jokes, Episode 7 of Season 2, but besides that, I have no idea. The child acting plus the amazing FX just make it perfect.
-
Sep 1, 2018Exciting, heartbreaking, and sometimes scary, Stranger Things acts as an addictive homage to Spielberg films and vintage 1980s television.

Jul 4, 2019If you liked Harry Potter, you'll love Stranger Things.
If you thought Harry Potter would've at least been watchable had he developed a blow habit then you'll probably strongly dislike Stranger Things.
I thought Harry Potter was pure dogshiite. -

May 4, 2020Awesome first season
Stranger things is a series that i personally think it could control my feelings the way it wanted. It could make me excited , happy , sad, etc . And it never was boring to me , i mean , it is entertaining every moment . It also has one of the most powerful stories. Just perfect. -

Sep 17, 2022This film noir portrait of corruption and morally-compromised obsessions stars Welles as Hank Quinlan, a crooked police chief who frames a Mexican youth as part of an intricate criminal plot. Charlton Heston plays an honorable Mexican narcotics investigator who clashes with the bigoted Quinlan after probing into his dark past. A memorable

Dec 10, 2020Solid writing, great cinematography, suspense, mystery, a well-crafted overarching plot and surprisingly good child actors. There's never a dull moment and you're always wondering what will happen next. The first season of Stranger Thing is excellent.

Apr 25, 2021The greatest TV show of all time. Amazing and engaging characters with so much depth, an amazing story that's like a remix of the best parts of the 80s, amazing original 80s synth based music, outstanding visuals, perfect horror atmosphere...everything is just perfect.

May 17, 2021A fantastic start for a fantastic show. Stranger Things offers amazing and evolving characters, an exciting story paired with great visuals and music score.

Mar 22, 2022Stranger Things season 1 has no sense of direction, which is what one might think at once. While that may sound as a negative, it looks like a positive to me. The audience knows absolutely nothing about what is going to happen, until it is revealed and they are full of shock. Packed with emotion and most importantly, mystery, Stranger Things Season 1 is the epitome of mystery TV at its finest.

This is astoundingly efficient storytelling, eight hours that pass in a blink, with even minor characters getting sharp dialogue, dark humor, or moments of pathos.
-
There’s a higher bar for original stories--even homages--to clear when it comes to incorporating the lessons Hollywood has learned recently about depicting female characters who are as layered as their male counterparts. For all its charms, Stranger Things doesn’t quite meet that standard.

You'll turn on the first episode and mysteriously find yourself sitting in the same spot on your couch eight episodes later, never having moved an inch.
