The First Shadow is a glorified teaser for the final season of Stranger Things

Behind the Curtain is a Netflix documentary about the making of Stranger Things: The First Shadow .

The play is a glorified teaser for the final season of Netflix ’s most popular show.

The story concerns the teenage years of Henry Creel , who will grow up to be the series’ skinless, noseless Big Bad, Vecna.

The First Shadow serves up plenty of razzle-dazzle.

The strength of Stranger Things , at least in its initial seasons, was the way it juxtaposed the mundanity of small-town life with the increasingly fantastic elements of its plot.

Instead of playing Dungeons and Dragons in a wood-paneled basement, the play’s regular characters act like they’re in a production of Bye Bye Birdie .
