Stranger Thing Tv Show

Stranger Things is a Netflix Original tv show that follows the disappearance of a young boy and the story of how his friends and family try to find him. The show is set in the 1980s, in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. His friends, Mike, Dustin and Lucas are helped by a young Telekinetic girl, Eleven, in their search for their missing friend, while Joyce, wills Mother, is also searching for him with the help of Chief Hopper. Meanwhile, Jonathan, Wills older brother, and Nancy, Mikes older sister, are also searching for Will and Nancy's missing friend Barbara. I believe that the ideal reader in mind would be young adult, someone from the ages of 18-35. This is because it has a very complex story line that can be hard for younger viewers to follow. As well as more interesting themes to younger people instead of an older generation. The ideal reader would be thinking alongside the characters and trying to piece all the information together as the show progresses. For example, while watching the show the viewer would be trying to find out what happened to Hopper's daughter or what the monster that took Will and Barbara really is. The Ideal reader is someone who has binged watched the show looking for every clue that could help them solve the mysteries surrounding the show, they wouldn’t do anything without
thinking of Stranger Things. Audiences have responded very well to this television show.
One of the reasons the show has been received so well is because of the build up to the release. The horizon of expectations played a key factor into this. The horizon of expectations is what readers assume out of a text before even receiving it. Before the release of the show, Netflix put out a lot of advertisement for it. I remember seeing a commercial for it months ago and really wanting to watch it because of how engaging the commercial was to me. All the advertisement made a lot of people excited to watch the show, which they were all thrilled to hear it had been renewed for a second
season. Stranger Things has created almost a cult following since it was released this past July, people have really gotten into the show and have been able to find themselves through watching the show. There are a lot of different interpretive communities forming around the show. They are finding these very relatable characters and latching onto them, finding many ways that the character can help them in life. For example, my friend is a huge fan of the character Eleven. She really enjoys how strong and brave Eleven is, and believes she can learn a lot from the telekinetic girl, she is part of an interpretive community that believes this way about Eleven. There are a lot of people who believe the same things about the other characters as well.
