The Original “Wait, What Was That Noise?”
Here's what to look forward to in season 1 of "Stranger Things."
Season 1 kicks off the legend: a kid vanishes, a mysterious girl appears, and Hawkins starts peeling back like old wallpaper to reveal something hungry underneath. Friends turn into a search party, families turn into detectives, and the town’s “everything is fine” mask slips hard. It’s equal parts wonder, dread, and pure ’80s pulse, with a mystery that opens a door nobody knows how to close.
