By now, you’ve probably heard your friends raving about the Netflix original, Stranger Things. If this has yet to happen, it’s likely because your friends are binge-watching it as we speak. The sci-fi mystery hit screens just a little over ten days ago, and it's since creeped its way into everyone's viewing schedule. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Stranger Things is becoming a phenomenon. By this time next year, it’s likely to have become a Netflix staple, parodied on SNL, and nominated for a few Emmys.

The Duffer Brothers production is developing a growing fan base, and becoming a critical darling. If you need some more convincing, however, you’ve come to the right place. Here are five reasons to check out the Netflix original, Stranger Things.

Horror

Part of what makes modern horror clichéd, is its overexposure of gore. With Stranger Things, less is more. The most terrifying monster is the one that you cannot see, and the directors know this to a T. Throughout the beginning of the series, we spend considerable time being teased of something nefarious. The paranormal world that has been constructed is full of surprises. We never know what to expect, and when evil is introduced, we don’t quite fully understand its capabilities. The horror portrayed in Stranger Things is an experiment in pacing, and it’s a terrific departure from the blasé genre that Hollywood seems insistent on.
