My personal decision to begin watching this show was severely debated upon. After a long period of mentally discoursing whether to watch Stranger Things, I decided to pause binge-watching other Netflix shows and switch to watching it- and I am incredibly glad I did. I began watching Stranger Things precisely one year after the first episode was released, and I was immediately hooked. My first thoughts on the show, after reading a quick synopsis on it, was that it would turn out to be another one of Netflix's cliche dramas- but I was not disappointed. Stranger Things is a perfect combination of horror and humor- I haven't witnessed a show with a package as such since Micheal left The Office. Without hesitation, I will recommend Stranger Things to anyone looking for a frightening- yet comedic- show.

I'm going to be honest: I've never come across a show as sublime as The Office. It's a package containing the perfect balance of comedy and heartfelt characters. Never have I witnessed a film that connects with the audience as much as The Office does; nor do I think I ever will. The decision I made to log onto Netflix and begin watching this show was one of the best of my life. Shall we all agree that The Office deserves multiple awards for its pure comedic genius? I cannot recall laughing harder than I did while watching The Office, with the exception of perhaps a few Saturday Night Live episodes. And in addition to such humor, The Office has characters that we can't help growing on, which, in my personal opinion, is an important aspect of having a successful television show. Without hesitation, I will make the recommendation of this show to anyone needing to laugh or be cheered up, because The Office will quickly execute your requirements.

The sequel to a thrilling adaptation of Stephen King's breathtaking novel was nothing short of outstanding. The characters portrayed by the excelling cast members were, quite simply, genuine, giving one of the most renowned horror films of all time a heartfelt touch. What the movie lacked in jump-scares and audience terror, it more than made up for in brilliant humor and sincere emotion. 'IT' has returned with yet another sublime cast and another intricately planned plot line. This time, the sets are even more captivating, among them a circus-like festival and an underground clubhouse- and let us not forget King's genius cameo in the near 3-hour movie. Before I had read King's novel, however, I would never have considered watching 'IT' or its 2019 sequel. I am not generally a horror fanatic- but watching 'IT' and It: Chapter 2 changed my perspective greatly. Fans of novels such as 'IT' must be prepared for extensive disappointment when a cinematic version of the book is released- but fans of King's novel were not let down when 'IT' and It: Chapter 2 were released. I would give a recommendation of this movie and its prequel to anyone looking for a good laugh, or to anyone searching for a movie containing characters they can grow close to.

'IT' was an overall excelling movie. The actors, despite their young ages, were heartfelt and sincere in their outstanding performances. It is hard to make a movie as terrifying as this magnificent Stephen King adaptation, but to be able to laugh as well. As stated before, the actors did a sublime job on their roles in this movie. Before watching 'IT', I am positive I wouldn't have expected such perfection from a group of minor actors as such. During the period of time I spent watching 'IT', I genuinely felt the actors portrayed their characters with such finesse that they truly were their characters. After reading Stephen King's marvelous novel, 'IT', I was prompted to watch both the '90s miniseries and, soon after, the excellent adaptations of it. And I have to say, I am quite glad I took the time to sit down and watch these movies. I expected thrilling scares, and was not disappointed by what I received. I'd give this movie a 58/10.
