What's Stranger Things about??? I've seen it here and there and I'm kinda keen to try it
The easiest way to explain it is it’s about these kids/town trying to find Will Byers, who mysteriously disappeared one night, and they fall into an adventure with evil government science-magic.
The not easy way is: Will Byers goes missing, and the town of Hawkins goes in search of him, and his D&D playing buddies (who are all like. 12) go looking for him themselves, and in the process find this girl in the woods who really doesn’t speak and says her name is Eleven and has POWERS, and kind of agrees to help look for Will because she somehow knows where he is but can’t say???
Meanwhile Will’s mum is going a bit crazy about it, and Will’s brother is too, and Hopper the sheriff is suspicious about EVERYTHING and comes across this shady-ass scientific facility who are The Literal Worst (tm) and have something to do with Eleven (but no one really knows that but the viewer, until way later). There’s also a monster but it’s not like...an alien like you think it’d be, but more mystical etc and it’s basically all magical sciencey stuff.
There’s also Nancy - Mike’s sister - and Steve and Jonathan - Will’s brother - and BARB and that’s a sub/parallel plot to Will and the main crew.
It’s spooky and cerebral and set in the 80s and has killer jams and fashions and badasses and is SO EMOTIONAL. You’re gonna adopt these kids in a heartbeat.
