Description
SEASON 1 FINALE OF SEEMORE! - Netflix's critically-acclaimed series Stranger Things oozes charm and it's clear that every fiber of it was made with love. The Duffer Brothers (co-creators) lead that train of love by adding an original spin to the nostalgic 80's themes, archetypes, and aesthetics they draw inspiration from. The sci-fi series kicks off with the mysterious disappearance of a small-town child and his friend's pursuit to find him against peculiar odds. With incredible talent both in front and behind the camera, this cultural phenomenon has already been nominated for over 160 awards and has won 52 of them, including multiple Emmy's in its first two seasons. With a third season about to be released for July 4th, Stranger Things shows no signs of slowing down. Joan explores why the show walks a great balance between paying homage to respective narrative structures while adding an original spin unique to the series. Beware of mild spoilers!
