This series takes place in the 80s, where a young kid goes missing in the woods on his way home from a session of D&D with his friends. His friends set out to find him, but instead find a girl their age with a shaved head and a surprising gift.
Government conspiracies, supernatural oddities, small town horrors, D&D... this series has it all. If you were a fan of the horror genre in the 80s - before cell phones were a thing, before the Internet existed - then this might be the series for you.
Having grown up in the 80s, I always look back fondly on the era. I loved the horror films from those times because they were simpler times, and thus scarier. You couldn't look up information without a visit to the library. You couldn't call anyone without a landline and a phone book. You were more isolated, which made the horrors even more frightening. This series does its best to mimic those times, even creating a show that mirrors an old 80s flick. The opening music and title screen alone gives me waves of nostalgia.
I highly recommend this series. Season 2 will be released on Netflix on 27 October - just in time for Halloween.
