What do\u00a0The Goonies<\/em>, Stephen King, late 80’s\u00a0DnD\u00a0<\/em>games, and junk food all have in common? They’ve been wonderfully mixed into the greatest show on television not a lot of people are watching:\u00a0Stranger Things<\/em>.<\/p>\n

To be honest, I was skeptical that I would like it. Not because the reviews weren’t good, but because I’m not in love with everything-relatively-fantasy that Netflix has pumped out.\u00a0OITNB<\/em> – phenomenal. I think\u00a0Bojack Horseman<\/em> is one of the most brilliant comedies out right now.\u00a0House of Cards<\/em> is like a one-faction\u00a0Game of Thrones<\/em> series with Kevin Spacey playing the lead role brilliantly. But fantasy? Nope. None of them. Remember Hemlock Grove? Neither do we.<\/p>\n

Which is why\u00a0Stranger Things<\/em> is so delightfully intense. It’s the kind of series that you can’t help but watch even if you’re not into watching scary shows at night. It’s the kind of series that puts you back to your childhood where you buried your head in the old throw pillow of an older couch when you were 10. It’s the kind of show that continually pulls at your eyelids until you realize you haven’t blinked in minutes.<\/p>\n

However, it may be the music that acts as the glue from scene to scene. Even the music feels like 1984 – albeit one where a relatively sedated Daft Punk was trying out new tracks on a Casio synth. Just listen.<\/p>\n
