The episode that begun it all! I heard about Stranger Things from my brother, I had not idea it existed before that. I massively enjoyed the first season and sub-sequentially binged seasons 2 and 3.
This episode it where it all began. I really enjoyed it. It sets the stage for the overall arc of the first season. The Duffer brothers do a great job creating the atmosphere.
The actors and actresses are all amazing. We meet David Harbour as Chief Hopper, who seems like he's going to be completely unhelpful and over his head. We see Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers. Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Kerry and Shannon Purser make up out teenage group. Then in my opinion, we meet the amazing talented children, Noah Schnapp, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin and especially Millie Bobby Brown, who is just amazing with the emotion she can show without words, with just her face. The chemistry between the boys is just amazing. Also, we (briefly) meet one of my favorite characters on Stranger Things, Benny Hammond played by Chris Sullivan.
The music is also very amazing. A almost perfect start to an almost perfect show!
