Life is complicated...STRANGER THINGS

For most of us, what we can't prove can't be real. We go through life expecting to know all the answers, willing to do some research of learn from others what could be the logical explanation for what we don't understand. But how about all those things that can't be explain. Things that we heard or saw and we try to forget or just ignore because we are not able to give any kind of explanation about it. Always feeling fear for those things we can't understand or seem different, threading our ideals, our way of life, our beloved ones, judging to those trying to do better and find a reason for whatever is happening but we prefer to blame than do and hide behind the excuse of being logical or rational over being able to open our minds and embrace new tings no matter how different or weird they might look at first sight and only as a community being able to analyze and understand them rather than isolating us or them letting us been hurt and feel vulnerable and sometimes risking health or our life because finding answers is not an easy task and the journey can be as painful as  bright but since we don't know what we are facing, the end of it is unknown and scary and can be as happy as terrifying so our instinct of preservation will arise and we will show our true self, and bring the fighter on us to try to find answers or go against this threat to our reality.

So for some might be pure entertainment and for others more like a science project. I'm talking about the new tv show from Netflix, that has turned into a huge success and a must see from last summer, and by now everybody is talking about, "Stranger things" (2016-current), a new suspense, scary, adventure kind of show that will please from young teenagers to grown ups that feel fascinated for the idea of inexplicable things happening to some, urban legends that happen in every town or political theories about conspiracies from the government trying to hide some kind of information that will transform society the way we know. So for the every geek we have inside this kind of shows will awake a whole conversation over the table and with friends and co workers where we'll try to figure out wat the creators are trying to prove, expose or just fantasied. The kind of show that create new urban legends and conspiracies and opens doors for those that like to take their imagination to other realities, life after death, civilizations out in space, creatures living among us, deseases expanding and created to change the way we behave and to feed industries seeking for power and corruption. it all can be as real as crazy as we want to believe but for sure there are some things, little details in our lives that we simply can't, and we move on always having them back in our heads trying to find a possible explanation but we are all part of this new reality.

For those looking for an intense drama that tries to explains, expose and go deep human condition, might get disappointed and probably feel better looking for some other options, but if you able to sit and enjoy a ride that will take you to different situations that might sound logic or not and be able to open your mind to let those ideas get in and fantasied about the fact of a possible truth behind all this, you might love and get caught in the upside down reality of the show. And specially if you were born in the 70's and 80's, you will feel nostalgia at every from while watching this perfect setting of a show in the 80's where you can beat every pulse of what made that decade a classic.Also the show serves as a tribute to some of the major classic sci fi films of the era, from Spielberg to Scott, winking at them with every turn of the plot just as if all were clues leading you to a destination that you know just to end feeling more like a deja vu than a familiar face but the experience will definitely feel like an east egg chase or treasure hunt, so whatever is going on in your head while watching it might be just your childhood trying to show up at a late party and make you feel overwhelmed and welcome back to your own life. But don't take for granted that because you feel familiar with all these homage, you'll know the answers because you'll be surprise of how things can take a different turn and how little we know about all this stuff.

But behind all this alternative reality we have real people in front of it, dealing with their lives and problems and having a real shitty moment as we all do at some point, just to face these new events as a challenge to reunite them or to start fresh. The faces in charge of this addictive and sometimes scary journey is Oscar nominee Winona Ryder, as Joyce Byers a neurotic mother that while struggling to keep up with her two young sons trying to support them in a small town upstate New York, while been abandoned by her husband, trying to provide them with all what they need working long hours just to face one day that her youngest has disappeared and while most of the people are giving him for dead, she knows he is not and start noticing some kind of signals that prove her he is around and still alive and even trying to communicate with her. All this would show her as a crazy woman but his son friends, a group of nerdy kids met a lost girl that happen to have telekinesis, a sort of desease that here seems more like a super power, but had her in the middle of a runaway from the government trying to use her for her experiments but she will help the boys to look for their missing friend, even she has no explanation of what is happening but has some knowledge of what might be a possibility.

While trying to understand what is going on with this weird girl and find the clues to find their lost friend, they have to struggle with being bulled in school for being smart and corky. And also we meet a group of teenagers, that while dealing with their own stuff like first love and friendship in times when we feel like rebels and no one understand us, that happen to face the fact that one of the group goes missing too and some clues will point to some coincidences from the little boy in toen the has gone missing too, so they will start they own journey to find her while the rest of the town, including a sad and lonely sheriff that after losing her daughter from cancer, saw her marriage disappeared and moved from the city to this town just to live a pathetic life behind a desk, trying to hide all his pain just in time to need to focus and move on so he can do his job and remember how good he is at it, also teaming up with a desperate mother than only counts on him to find her son. There is much more going behind all this drama and adventures but saying more will ruin the surprise of a mystery screaming to be solved and calling you to follow it step by step only if you dare to open your mind and let strange things to happen in your life and accept the fact that we don't know nothing other than what others try to show so maybe is time to start looking for your own signs and might find a clue to your own reality and be ready to embrace this unique journey called life and all what is attached to it.
