	Author	Review
United States	Matt Roush TV Guide	"It's agreeable popcorn fare, though like many Netflix originals, might have had twice the impact at half the length"	NEU
United States	Liz Calvario IndieWire	"'Stranger Things' is nothing if not a surprising, sometimes scary, moving and successful homage to the era of Spielberg's 'ET' and the 1980s themselves."	POS
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"Nothing here feels particularly new, except for the compelling way the Duffers have put it all together--and even that can’t fix some plot holes and deliberate obfuscation that make 'Stranger Things' a clumsier ride than it needs to be."	NEU
United States	Mark Perigard Boston Herald	"[An] utterly addictive supernatural thriller (...) You’ll get vibes from 'The Goonies,' John Hughes’ teen films, Stephen King stories, 'E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial,' 'Alien' and so much more"	POS
United States	Maureen Ryan Variety	"This promising drama often has ambiguous and even sad things (...) and the familiar contours of its plot are most effective when they serve as a cover for somewhat deeper explorations."	POS
United Kingdom	Jonathan Pile Empire	"There are enough human dramas, soapy teenage love triangles and nostalgia-coated kids’ adventures to make it an engaging eight episodes (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
Spain	FilmAffinity	"Watching STRANGER THINGS is looking watching Steve King's Greatest Hits. I mean that in a good way."-. Stephen King, author of "Carrie" and "The Shining".	POS
Spain	FilmAffinity	Film director Guillermo del Toro: "Stranger Things may be a lot of things: King, Spielberg, 80's, myself (Duffers pointed that to me) but what it is, above all, is good!!"	POS
