The pair create a score that is not only one of the most recognisable parts of ‘Stranger Things' but is also reminiscent of music from the 80s. Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein from the band Survive, compose the eerie and synthy score for the show. Not only does the series feature an interesting and distinctive story, but it also introduces audiences to these likable characters that you can immediately start to understand and sympathise with. This makes ‘Stranger Things' arguably one of the most unique shows to come off Netflix's production line. Not only does the show benefit from stellar worldbuilding, the writers (the Duffer brothers, Jessica Mecklenburg, Justin Doble, Alison Tatlock, and Jessie Nickson-Lopez) seem to have found the near-perfect balance of drama, comedy and sci-fi. Using genuine artifacts from 1980s and detailed replicas, Trujillo and Reiss build sets that help to immerse you into the world of ‘Stranger Things'. Production designer Chris Trujillo and prop master Lynda Reiss create sets that range from high-tech laboratories to 12-year-olds' bedrooms. Brown's portrayal especially (playing the young girl who escapes from the laboratory) as her character doesn't speak more than a few words throughout the entire season, instead relying on her physicality and movement. The whole cast give turns that bring you into the world of these characters and their struggles, but one of the season's highlights is the performances given by Millie Bobby Brown and Winona Ryder. Appearing alongside them is a line-up consisting of Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Charlie Heaton, Natalia Dyer, and Joe Keery. Together, they bring some of the show's most iconic characters to life through notable performances and impressive chemistry. The first season of the series introduces you to its large cast, including Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp and Millie Bobby Brown to name a few. What ensues is a cryptic and thrilling story that takes you on a terrifying journey across dimensions, plagued with horrific monsters and nightmarish experiments.

At the same time, a mysterious young girl with remarkable abilities manages to escape from a top-secret laboratory.

Set in Indiana, 1983, the first season of the show follows the disappearance of 12-year-old Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) after he goes missing on his way home from a friend's house. The Emmy-winning show takes audiences on a supernatural journey across genres, incorporating elements of horror, sci-fi, fantasy and drama. From the ingenious minds of the Duffer brothers comes ‘Stranger Things', an exciting and refreshing sci-fi adventure that follows a group of kids from the quiet suburb of Hawkins, Indiana.
