"Stranger Things" Revisit and Preview: Innocence vs. Darkness. How Children are Uniquely Positioned to Defeat Evil

October 26, 2017

Ahead of the release of "Stranger Things 2", we're resetting the first season of "Stranger Things", the mega-popular streaming sci-fi/horror/suspense series from Netflix and the The Duffer Brothers. (NOTE: This episode contains spoilers from "Stranger Things" season 1) Tysen Webb, Andy Farnsworth and Aaron Zundel are joined in this episode by long-time Fangirl contributor and Deseret News reporter McKenzie Romero to talk about the epic first 8 episodes and why you should watch it, if you haven't already. We explore one of the most important themes that "Stranger Things" explores--Innocence vs. Darkness, and particularly how the greater a character's innocence in the show, the greater the power they had against the forces of darkness.  We also discuss our thoughts for where things can go in Season 2, and what we hope to see.
