Copyright Netflix 2016

Netflix has thousands of movies and shows for anyone. One show that has taken over the world and that show is Stranger Things. This past October, Stranger Things released a second season of the show, Stranger Things 2, and here are 5 reasons why you should watch:

Reason 1: The cast of the show. The Stranger Things cast is made mostly of kids in their teens, that including Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, and Gaten Matarazzo. Many of the kids came into the show with very little experience in show business. That being said, within the first few minutes of the first episode you can feel a connection with the kids.You would no think that they are new to asking while seeing how well they do Along with having amazing young actors and actresses, there are also a few older actors that make the show as good as it is. The kids act beside Winona Ryder, David Harbour, and Sean Astin. The connection with the adults in the show is very empowering, and the connection they have with the kids feels so realistic as if they are actual family and not just a TV family.

Reason 2: Stranger Things is a very binge worthy show. When you have a free day and don’t know what to do with your free time, you can sit down and watch an entire season. The episodes may be long but with Mike, Eleven and the gang trying to save the world in each episode, time isn’t even a problem.

Reason 3: The storyline of Stranger Things. As with many suspenseful shows, you are always left with a good cliffhanger at the end of each episode. Stranger Things can leave a storyline hanging in the middle of an episode, and then you won’t get the answer until two episodes later. Not only does it keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time but it also makes you want to jump into your TV and help the gang figure things out.

Reason 4: The actual characters of the series. Almost all the characters are likeable even when you see their character flaws. You watch the characters grow throughout the show. You can see the change from episode to episode as they become stronger and more independent . As time goes on and it is actually quite amazing to see. As they grow within each episode and by the time you get to episode two you know they are going to be your favorite part of the show. In the beginning of the the kids were not independent at all and let themselves get pushed around. In the second season, the kids are almost as independent as the grown ups as they help each other uncover the mysteries of the show.

Reason 5: The final reason why you should watch Stranger Things is because it almost feels realistic. As fantasy/sci-fi shows can usually not feel realistic the cast does such a great job creating the story it feels as if it could happen to you in our small town. You can also make a connection with the kids in Stranger Things. The kids do such a good job at what they are doing in the show it almost feels realistic. The things that happen in Stranger Things can never happen in real life but the way the characters act in the show they make you feel like they can.
