The young cast's chemistry and high production values are frequently praised. However, some criticize the show for plot predictability, uneven season quality, and underdeveloped character arcs.

Gets even Stranger in every season!
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.
I know first three seasons were quite the same in some ways. But the Season Four explains that situations. Not all minor things, but explains the major questions.
There is some great references to The Thing, E. T., D&D, Middle-earth and even more. That references makes ithe TV Show more exciting. Especially for geeks.
Film Editing was perfect even from the first season.
Cinematography, VFX and Sound is got better in the second season. They were a bit weak at first season.
Makeup, Costume Design, Scores, Art Direction & Set Decoration were quite good from the first season, they get a bit better along the seasons.

Lives up to all the hype
Stranger Things absolutely lives up to all the hype! This worldwide phenomenon has been one of the most talked about shows since it came out back in 2016 and for good reason...it's terrific! It's an absolute blast to watch and will keep you entertained throughout the entire series. This has everything a show needs to be great...action, comedy, drama, suspense, even nostalgia with this show. You really come to care for these characters and what happens to them. Obviously, season 1 was the best but the others are not far off. All are absolutely worth watching and I can't wait for the new season! Season 5 of s going to be its last so hopefully it goes out as good as it started. I can't wait!
Never judge a book by its cover.
I am one of those people that was put of by the thought that this was a kid's drama, from the advertising you'd swear this was aimed at a 4 o'clock after school transmission time, the reality is far from that. It's quite intense drama, thoroughly absorbing, the kind of show you can't help but binge watch. As someone that grew up in the Eighties, I can appreciate the detail that's gone into the production, it's like they slipped back and filmed it live, it is incredibly well made. I utterly love the music, it is so fitting, takes me back to wonderful eighties shows. Quality in both season one and two, I like the build up and tension that is abundant in the first. It's like the Goonies meets The Quatermass Experiment.
One of my favourites
Awesome characters, great story, great balance between drama and action, love the humour in the series.... In my opinion it is a must watch.
One of the best supernatural shows ever
Stranger Things is absolutely as good as everyone says it is. When a show is as talked about about as much as this one has been it's hard to live up to expectations. Stranger Things has not only met those expectations but has surpassed them in every way. This is the show that our Netflix on the map as far as original shows go as this was not only one of their first but their biggest. As much as I love this show it's probably time for it for end and it is. This upcoming season is going to be the last. We have literally watched this cast grow up, they were children when this show first started and now they're all in their 20's. I can't wait for this last season and going to miss it when it's gone!

Did you know
- TriviaSteve Perry, former lead vocalist for Journey, has said that the Stranger Things season 4 remix of Journey's 1980s smash hit Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) was done pretty much the way he originally wanted it done in the 1980s, but lacked the technology. Perry was so impressed that he even helped with the development of the remix.
- GoofsDuring a number of episodes, people are seen 'interrupting' someone talking on a two way radio or CB - that is, one person is talking/transmitting, and another person transmits to interrupt them, and then the other person hears this interruption and stops transmitting. This was done a few times on the kid's CB radios, and on the radios used by the police. Those radios - the CB and the police radios of the era from the show - don't work like that. If you are transmitting, and someone else transmits, you will not hear them.
- Crazy creditsThe Stranger Things opening titles and fonts mimic the film grain and look of 1980's television series opening credits.
