By now you've seen, or have at least heard of Netflix’s newest hit, Stranger Things. If you have yet to see it, stop what you’re doing and go watch it now. The Duffer Brothers, the show’s creators, beautifully blends 80’s horror movies with modern cinematography. Not to mention, every actor cast in the show does superbly well. This is all-the-more incredible when you understand the shows centers around a group of eleven year old misfits.
The first season of Stranger Things, in all its glory, was only eight one-hour episodes, and the show is so good I finished in two days with the help of my family. We seriously all got hooked onto the show. Netflix very recently confirmed a second season, even releasing the episode titles as teasers. Unfortunately, however, the show will not be returning until 2017, and if you’re anything like me, you’re dying for it to return. Here are a few things to do while you impatiently wait:
1. Rewatch Stranger Things
Seriously. Once you’ve finished the show, rewatch it. The Duffer Brothers put so much into each episode that truly gets missed the first time around.
2. Watch other Netflix Originals
Netflix has been on a roll lately with their original productions. Remember when Orange is the New Black was the best thing around? It’s still good, but there’s so much more than Piper, I promise. Some good comedies include Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Grace and Frankie. If you’re looking for the suspense aspect of Stranger Things, House of Cards has you covered. Don’t be afraid to explore some of the lesser known shows as well, you’ll be surprised on the gems you find!
3. Be Productive
More than likely, you’re procrastinating if you’re watching Netflix. Now that you’ve finished one bomb series, get your stuff done before binging another bomb series. It sucks but you probably really need to shower, do your laundry, or worse, homework.
4. Descend into Madness
This one is self-explanatory.
5. Rewatch Stranger Things...again
The only way to truly get your ST fix is to watch the show over again. I assure you it is that good that you will watch the season more than once. The acting, the music, the concept, all of it is so incredibly unique and wonderful it will keep you coming back for more.
