13 Irish people that can’t cope with the wonderful new Netflix series Stranger Things

Homemovies & tv

Everyone is watching this.

Not since Netflix launched Making A Murderer has a series managed to captivate audiences quite like Stranger Things has. We're huge fans of the show because it's a perfect tribute/homage to some of the best films of the 80s, mixed with Stephen King's novels and gothic TV shows like The X-Files and Eerie Indiana. Without saying too much, the first episode feels like you're watching The Goonies, E.T, The Breakfast Club and Stand by Me but with a soundtrack that features the likes of Joy Division, David Bowie and The Clash. Irish fans have really identified with the supernatural story of a young boy who vanishes into thin air. As friends, family and local police search for answers, they are drawn into an extraordinary mystery involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl. Here's a small insight into the impact that it has already had with Irish viewers. https://twitter.com/edsongsofpraise/status/755529111259537409 https://twitter.com/CianByName/status/755507207291170820 https://twitter.com/GillenMagic/status/755170080128921600 https://twitter.com/BronaghAnn/status/754403178142130176 https://twitter.com/LeGalaxie/status/755078369205714945 https://twitter.com/rochenstein/status/755518306338107392 https://twitter.com/ChrisGalvin1981/status/754093875808133120 https://twitter.com/ConorPacKelly/status/755533483057958913 https://twitter.com/SarBryan/status/754042654971879424 https://twitter.com/TheRazoredEdge/status/754010816354156544 https://twitter.com/strangerbyday/status/755703470594949120 https://twitter.com/tweets_amanda/status/755514726554165248 https://twitter.com/ElChiefMoore/status/755453972073373697 The show is also getting a lot of love from some famous faces all around the world. https://twitter.com/ChloeGMoretz/status/755540751019192320 https://twitter.com/StephenKing/status/754865415587758080 https://twitter.com/emiliederavin/status/754912909369614336 https://twitter.com/RealGDT/status/754824606540763139 https://twitter.com/HarMarSuperstar/status/755241668299763712 Take a look at what's in store. https://youtu.be/b9EkMc79ZSU
