What is Stranger Things about?
If you’re one of the few who still hasn’t seen this series, let us tell you what the story is about so that you at least understand the references to it on social media.
It all starts with the mysterious disappearance of a boy named Will in a small town in the United States. From there, some residents begin to uncover a mystery related to secret experiments, terrifying supernatural forces, and a mysterious girl named Eleven.
Eleven will join the group of friends searching for Will, and together they will embark on a dangerous mission, unaware of the magnitude of what awaits them. What they don’t know is that there is “The Upside Down”, a parallel dimension that has crossed into our world due to secret U.S. government experiments, and is linked to the strange occurrences happening in the town.
