In 1983 in a small town in Indiana, in STRANGER THINGS: The First Season, four young boys are wrapping up their tenth hour of playing an intense game of Dungeons and Dragons. So, MOVIEGUIDE® advises strong and extreme caution concerning STRANGER THINGS. Also, some of the violence and images are disturbing or scary, and a couple early episodes make references to teenage sexual behavior. Some episodes contain a significant amount of foul language. The first season contains elements of telekinesis and references to other dimensions, but the references to an “upside down” dimension can easily be considered a metaphor for another spiritual realm where evil beings dwell. The basic story captures the viewer’s attention immediately and continues to build throughout the season. The first season’s scripts are very well written. STRANGER THINGS is a Netflix original series. In the first season, the townspeople confronting these strange occurrences eventually must join forces to combat evil forces from another dimension. A young girl appears out of what seems to be nowhere, on the run from something and possessing telekinetic powers. As the search for Will continues, unusual things happen all over the town. It begins with the disappearance of a young boy named Will. STRANGER THINGS takes place in a small Indiana town in 1983.
