Netflix's hit sci-fi thriller series "Stranger Things" continues to garner much attention after executives saw the huge success of the first run of the '80s-inspired show. It seems to have taken the internet by storm as well, as per recent data released by micro-blogging site Twitter.
Twitter recently revealed to Variety that the launch of the show has been popular on the social media platform, specifying that "Stranger Things" season 2 had stirred the online buzz. There were 3.7 million tweets about the airing of the second run during the weekend, making it the most-talked-about topic in the Twitterverse. Fans were mostly talking about the series at 11 a.m. EDT, on Friday, Oct. 27. The second season was dropped at midnight of the same day.
Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Will (Noah Schnapp), Steve (Joe Keery), Chief Hopper (David Harbour), and Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) were the most tweeted characters from the "Stranger Things." There were also mentions of the new additions to the cast: Dacre Montgomery as Billy and Sadie Sink as Max. The two played siblings in the second season.
"Stranger Things" had obviously carried its charm to the second season. The first run was warmly welcomed by fans, garnering 14 million adult viewers, aged 18-49 years, for the first month. The ratings were provided by Symphony Advanced Media. The series, which also stars Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers and Finn Wolfhard as Mike, was noted to become one of the streaming service provider's most-watched shows.
Meanwhile, this season also appeased fans of Barbara Holland (Shannon Purser), who captured the fans' hearts even after appearing in just a few episodes in the first season. Barb, Nancy's (Natalia Dyer) best friend, was killed by the Demogorgon in the past installment, and fans quickly noted how the show had somehow quickly moved on about her death. This season had finally brought justice to the death of the bespectacled student.
