Is Stranger Things too dark
and scary for young sci-fi fans?

00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:07.840
[Music plays]

00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:10.640
Well, it's certainly not
for the faint of heart.

00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:11.680
[Creature roars]

00:00:11.680 --> 00:00:15.520
Set in the 1980s, this hit
series twists supernatural

00:00:15.520 --> 00:00:19.040
horror and tween drama into
a mystery about interdimensional

00:00:19.040 --> 00:00:21.280
monsters and government
experiments.

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.360
In addition to its white-knuckle
moments, this dark thrill ride

00:00:25.360 --> 00:00:27.280
delivers some intense violence.

00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:30.480
We're talking kids in peril,
bloody shootouts, creepy

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.440

deaths, and lots more.

Teen characters make out,
and sex is implied in at least

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:41.200
one episode, while the dialogue
includes the occasional S-word,

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:43.840
A-hole, and other 
crude insults.

00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:44.960
"Kiss your mom 
night for me!"

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.920

messages about the importance

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:49.520
of family and friendship.
