In this episode we break down the first episode of Stranger Things, which was created, written, and directed by the Duffer Brothers. Season one premiered on July 15, 2016, the second season is available now, and the third season premieres on July 4, 2019. Stranger Things is a Netflix original, and the first episode is titled “Chapter One: The Vanishing of Will Byers.”   As always, we take a look at the (Netflix) description: “When a young boy vanishes, a small town uncovers a mystery involving secret experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one strange little girl.” I’m just gonna take a guess here that maybe--just maybe--those supernatural forces are behind that young boy’s disappearance.   We also discuss the development of the show as well as the other projects of the Duffer Brothers, including the excellent first season of Wayward Pines.   In addition to our detailed breakdown of the episode, we analyze how Stranger Things fits in with and stands out from other shows about missing children, such as Dark, True Detective (season three), Broadchurch, and Twin Peaks.   For more information and to contact us, check out our social media pages: Facebook @YouMeAndTV, Twitter @YouMeAndTVPod, and Instagram @youmeandtvpodcast.
