I wasn't planning on making a review for anything ever, but Stranger Things is too good to not talk about. Anyway, as I'm going to be talking about the first episode, there's obviously going to be spoilers. Also, it's been a bit since I watched the first episode, so I'm probably going to forget a few things.

Starting off, we watch a man who we assume is some sort of scientist run through a few corridors against flickering lights, obviously frightened by something. Then, as he is attempting to flee via elevator, he is attacked by some creature. They did very well here by not revealing anything about the creature; we don;t know if it's alien, supernatural, man-made, or anything of the sort. Next, we get on with the introduction of the kids, and then the disappearance of Will. They did good here by not revealing anything else about the situation. We assume the creature is the same as in the beginning, but we still don't know anything about it, other than that it is humanoid. Will disappears, presumably taken by the creature. We also get the introduction of the mysterious girl named Eleven, who sneaks into a diner and steals some food. We also learn here that she has some sort of power when she turned off the fan. Then, people show up at the diner pretending to be social services. They kill the diner owner and attempt to take Eleven, but she escapes into the woods. Late at night, when Will's friends are looking for him, they come across Eleven, and the episode ends there.

I feel like everything was done excellently, and they introduced a large amount of strange and different elements without feeling rushed or forced or anything. All in all, it was great. I'm going to do episode two in a little bit, and episode three once I finish it (the stupid tornado interrupted it last night).
