erychan86While I was busy watching Suits and drawl all over Gabriel Macht (sorry but I'm human) my friends were binge watching Stranger Things and going crazy about it.
Since my friends have AWESOME taste when it comes to shows, I decided to give it a go and: DAMN, it was good!
To me Netflix means Quality and the network nailed another amazing show. One of the things I like the most about this company is that they ALWAYS nail the characters. Instead of casting unbelievably gorgeous actors, they cast humans, people that are easy to relate to... They're not just normal looking (I don't want to use the word average because I really hate the word and what it stands for) they also dress as we all would dress for the occasion (no one runs in super high heels and has perfectly curly hair and make up throughout the whole day) and act like real people. The good guys aren't always good, they make mistakes and have bad ideas, and the bad ones are not completely evil. Even in shows like Jessica Jones and Daredevil, the nemesis of the hero is not plain evil. Look at Wilson Fisk or Kilgrave... We see the good in them...
I'm a huge fan of Bloodline because of this, and now I am a huge fan of Stranger Things as well. The story is just insanely good and the kids are AMAZING! Millie Bobby Brown should win all the awards for her interpretation of Eleven! She was fantastic, but all of them were brilliant!
If you have't watch it yet just try it! And then go see them @ The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon (HERE). Jimmy had the time of his life playing with them!

I'd rather watch shows like this, inspired by a certain genre or timeframe or franchise, than any more reboots, thank you!
