8 Reasons To Watch Stranger Things

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at St Vincent chapter.

It seems as if everyone is taling about the Netflix series, Stranger Things. And for great reasons. The show is a Netflix original series and brings back the 80s, amazingly. It all starts when Will, goes missing and everyone in their small Indiana town is curious as to where he could have gone. Unraveling mysteries like secret government facilities and supernatural forces puts Stranger Things on everyone’s radar. Here are 8 reasons to start watching Stranger Things on Netflix. 

1. Dustin

Dustin is the cutest thing. He is such an underrated character in the series but his mannerisms and the way he jumps in at different times with jokes makes him such a fun character.

2. Eleven

El for short. But, need I say more? She is total girl power. She has gone through so much in her life unfortunately, thanks to Papa but even so, she has a great heart and wants to help others.

3. Will

Season 1 is based off of Will and it is always interesting to see what the other characters go through to… well I don’t want to give it away.

4. The Upside Down

An alternate reality that is full of confusion and suspense. It is crazy to think that something like this may be real or could happen in the future so it always draws you in when it is featured in the show.

5. Demogorgon

It might be the most disgusting thing in the series but how can you not be curious when it comes into a scene?

6. It is only 8 episodes

The series just started on Netflix and has only one season out. So if you’re looking for something that can be accomplished quickly, this is the show for you.

7. Papa

He may be a villain in the show but he is so interesting and how can you not be confused when trying to trace his thought process?

8. Mike

Oh Mike. He is the character with the biggest heart and smile. Again I don’t want to give it away but he really makes you happy many times throughout the season.

We couldn’t list every reason to start the series so you need to start it to find out for yourself.
