As they search for answers, the kids unravel a series of extraordinary mysteries
Scenario
In 1980s Indiana, a group of young friends witness supernatural forces and secret government exploits. Steve Perry, former lead singer of Journey, has said that the Stranger Things season 4 remix of Journey’s 80s smash hit Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) was done pretty much the way he originally wanted it to be done in the 80s, but lacked the technology . Perry was so impressed that he even helped with the development of the remix.
If you’re streaming and someone else is streaming, you won’t hear it
During several episodes, people are seen “interrupting” someone talking on a two-way or CB radio – that is, one person is talking/transmitting, and another person transmits to interrupt them, and then the other person hears this interruption and stops transmitting . This was done a few times on the kids’ CB radios and on radios used by police. Those radios (the CB and police radios of the show’s time) do not work like that.
Once: Friends Don’t Lie

Featured on FoundFlix: Stranger Things (2016) Ending Explained + Season 2 Clues (2016). Stranger Things (Title Sequence & End Credits Theme) Written and performed by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein.
I love the music, it’s so appropriate, it takes me back to the wonderful shows of the eighties
I’m one of those people who was put off by the idea that this was a children’s drama, from the advertising you’d swear it was intended for a 4 o’clock after school broadcast, the reality is so far from that. It’s quite an intense drama, very absorbing, the kind of show you can’t help but watch in one go. As someone who grew up in the eighties I can appreciate the detail that’s been put into the production, it’s like they went back in time and filmed it live, it’s incredibly well done.
It’s like The Goonies meets The Quatermass Experiment
Quality in both the first and second seasons, I like the build up and tension that abounds in the first.
