Most times I don't find the intense need to write a review for shows I like, but I just finished season 1 (the only one so far) of Stranger Things and I think this might be one of the best Netflix series till date. It's right up with the class and finesse of House of Cards, Master of None, Beasts of No Nation, BoJack Horseman, and Bloodline. I cannot recommend Stranger Things enough. The narrative blends science-fiction, fantasy, and drama perfectly with no holes in the pretext of the plotline. Often times, I am disturbed by leeway taken in fantasy stories where the plot leaves behind glaring questions that must be answered within the story arc. But not this series. In fact, Stranger Things incorporates major references to theoretical physics accurately. However, what truly enchanted me about this series is the phenomenal acting performances by the lead cast; especially the kids. These kids reminded me of the outstanding performance by the children in season 3 of The Wire. I recommend this show to everyone with an interest in good storytelling, cinematography, music, and performance. We are truly living in the golden age of television. What a time to be alive.
