I think this show is great. One good thing is I'm a kid and I understand I wouldn't say its scary but it's not dull. I personally love the show
Season 1. Its 1983 will byers mysteriously goes missing on his way home his group of friends set out to find him and end up finding eleven shes a Hawkins lab test subject with telakanises they take her in. Meanwhile with Nancy wheeler going to her friends party with her friend Barb taging along barb goes missing soon we see barb in a weird location.
Season 2. Eleven and the gang set out to find will but he is nowhere to be found. Then they find out about a place called "the upside down" where a monster called the "demogorgon" lives they find will but also find barbs dead body! Will is acting weird and they also find put about another monster called "the mind flayer" they find out hes been controlling will
Season 3. They find out the mind flayer and the demogorgons are allergic to heat they kill the demogorgons (or so they thought) and will has a seizure cause the mind flayer is apart of him they get the mind flayer out of will by trapping him in a room filled with heat. Eleven closes the gate/portal to the upside down and a fight at star court mall goes with the gang and two new members max and Billy they successfully killed the mind flayer but then in Russia theres also a big thing going on there by closing there gate Jim hopper supposedly "dies" while the Russians are holding "the American" captive leaving us with a cliff hanger.
In conclusion stranger things is great!
