When a boy goes missing, a mysterious girl appears; this is how the series and I have started, along with a mysterious creator who's not even from the black lagoon.
In the first episode, the series opens up to the U.S. Department of Energy Labor, where a scientist was running through the hallways for his life from something. When he gets to the elevators, the doors open, and as he gets in, just as he thinks he's safe, he gets snatched from a creator.
Just next door to the laboratory is a town, Hawkins, Indiana, where we meet four boys, Will, Lucas, Mike, and Dustin, playing a game like Dungeons and Dragons. When the game is about to get good, Mike's ends it. Will, Lucas, and Dustin head home on their bikes, and then as Will leaves, MikMike's begin to flash in and out.
Dustin challenges Will that if he beats him to his house, he can pick any of his comic books, which he does, and pass his house. As he heads home, he passes an open gatethgate tis hat trespassing; he spots a mysterious creature,r steers off the road into the woods, and runs for his life. He makes it home with no one but the dog. He searches for his mom or brother,r but no one. As he sees the creator at the doo,r he runs to the shed and gets the gun out. As he loads the gun and waits for the creator, the creator makes a surprise move from behind.
The following day, Johnathan (Will's older brother) and Joyce (Will's mom) are up and about to head out for work until they haven't noticed that Will isn't home. Johnathan thought he stayed at Mike's house for the night. When Joyce called MMike'smo,m she replied that he left afternine9 that night.
Joyce runs to the town sheriff, Hopper, who has demons of his own from looking silly, beer, and the look shows it. He tries to calm down and does what he can to think of where the boy can be, at his secret spot, with distilled, still relative. But Joyce believes that he might have been taken.
While searching for Will at a burger shop, the kid comes back and, looking around, spots something that smells good (french fries) and eats it. But when she gets caught t, the guy takes her in, feeds her, and gives her some clothes. He calls an information number about the ki,d, but a woman who says is a social worker she kills the guy, while a group of men tries to take the chi,ld, but she disappears.
Mike, Dustin, and Lucas want to look for Mike, and they sneak out of the house at night. They tried places where Will would have gone, but with no luck, they looked through the woods until a storm came and soon bumped into the mysterious girl.
This episode had some '80s spook to it—the performances from certain actors, from Winona Ryder to David Harbour. The story is a bit slow initially, but it picks up well. I pretty much enjoyed the episode. The kids might be a problem, mainly with the characters like Nancy and her friends and "boyfriend." That one thing that I didn't care for, but let it go anyway.
Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.
