Stranger Things 2 Review

Stranger Things 2

Stranger Things 2 does well to follow up the foundation already laid and as a sequel, it also surprisingly does well on its own not relying so much on the first entry; maintaining certain connections but going on its own path

Thrown back in to the 80's in the little town of Hawkins, Indiana, Stranger Things 2 continues with the story of the party of young friends consisting, Dustin Henderson, Lucas Sinclair, Mike Wheeler and Will Myers, who share a bond which is even much stronger after surviving previous events in Stranger Things. Even though Eleven is no longer with them, they navigate through their daily lives before more stranger events occur.

It is fluid continuation from the first season, solid follow-up story being assisted with a very well-picked 80's soundtrack to paint an ambient picture of the times, subtle references to the previous show without it preventing the new show from existing on its own.

The only few cons were the unanswered questions as well as the neglect of the story arcs that could not just connect, leaving us the watchers scratching our heads.

All-in-all it is worth the binge! There's no better way to experience it. 8/10.
