"Chapter One: The Vanishing of Will Byers" (Season 1)
"The one that started it all. Good luck finding a person who wasn't immediately hooked into the world of Hawkins and the Upside Down bubbling beneath following the very first scene: a Dungeons and Dragons session gone horribly wrong, as poor Will Byers goes missing on his way home. Without such a strong start, Stranger Things wouldn't even be 17 episodes deep into its run and counting — and for that reason alone, the top honor goes to the original" (The Hollywood Reporter.com, 2017).

Why did Barb die but Will live? Who is Eleven’s real dad? And where the heck are Lucas’ parents? 
On last night’s episode of “Saturday Night Live,” the show tried to answer that last question, offering a hilarious parody of what’s to come on Season 2 of the Netflix show" (HuffingtonPost.com,  2016).

"Though Season 2 has been superb, it is not completely flawless at few aspects. Because the episode "The Lost Sister" broke the pace and tension a bit, that rose from the previous episode "The Spy" as it mostly focuses on Eleven and her unexpected journey.Overall, I would highly recommend any Stranger Things fan to watch it as it is both heartbreaking and also very memorable!" (Imrancat, 2018).
