Stranger Things is the biggest franchise of 2016, All together this TV show in my eyes is one of the best, with a great story line and some amazing actors. But none of this could of been done without the amazing directors Matt and Ross Duffer: also known as the Duffer brothers. Some viewers from Chantry Middle School saying that ‘Its the best show on Netflix yet!’ from one student and ‘It’s different and Original’. One person said that they liked it as it was a scary story line based around kids in the 80’s and all of the unexpected plot twists. It’s true stranger things is strangely addicting!

The whole story base line is about a young girl called Jane, but her friends call her Eleven due to the tattoo on her wrist from when she got experimented on. Eleven is able to move and control things with her mind, but everytime she uses her powers she loses a lot of energy and her nose starts to bleed. One day, when she runs away from Hawkins Lab, young Mike Wheeler and his ‘party’ find Eleven on her run away adventure, from then on mike secretly lets her live in his basement, teaches her to talk properly, and he also teaches her to trust.

Later on in the series, Will Byers goes into a parallel universe called the upside down. While at Hawkins Will is assumed dead, Will’s mother Joyce Byers and brother Jonathan Byers are convinced Will is alive and everyone thinks they are going mad. Well that’s everyone but Nancy Wheeler, Mike Wheeler’s brother. Nancy’s best friend Barb goes “missing”.

I’m sure you’ll be thinking. But who is taking them there? Well that’s when the demogorgon comes in…
