Review

This is worth watching it has a good plot, good acting, an intriguing set of unexpected plot twists, and well-done background music. Exciting, heartbreaking, and sometimes scary, Stranger Things acts as an addictive homage to Spielberg films and vintage 1980s television. The Duffer Brothers, Matt and Ross Duffer, often credited as the Duffer Brothers, are American film and television writers, directors, and producers. They may be the master storytellers behind the fictional tale of Stranger Things, but they also admit to taking inspiration from real life conspiracies and true crime stories.
