They go on this huge mission to find Will and the Demogorgon. It has so many cliff hangers and will leave you on the edge of your seat throughout the whole show.
Mike and Eleven stand out the most to me in the series because they click together instantly and create a bond between each other. Beyond the show, they are both young as Millie is 12 and Finn is 14. Millie was born on February 19, 2004. She was born in Spain to two British parents. They moved to Orlando, Florida in 2011 where

Milly went to acting workshops to pass time on. Finn, on the other hand was born on December 23, 2002 in Vancouver, Canada. Finn always had a passion for acting as he always wanted to continue growing as an actor. They both have starred in many other TV shows and series, aside from
Stranger Things. Millie starred in Once Upon a Time, Grey’s Anatomy, Intruders, Modern Family, and NCIS. While Finn has starred in The 100, Supernatural and a few movies such as The Resurrection and Aftermath.
In Stranger things, Millie who plays Eleven has a very important role.

Her original name is Jane Ives. Her mother Terry Ives, who was a test subject at Hawkins national laboratory, didn’t know she was pregnant. Once she gave birth, her daughter Jane was used as a test subject too. While Terry was pregnant, she was constantly experimented on with psychedelic drugs and having to go in an isolation tank countless times. Because of the experiments, she was born with powers. She can use her mind to do just about anything. Because she was so special, she was abducted by a scientist where he and his co-workers did experiments on her, and replaced her name with the code 011 on her wrist, to represent she is a test subject. She had no friends until she met Mike and his friends. She helps the whole storyline, along with helping the friends find Will. Despite the happy ending, Eleven goes back to the upside down where the Demogorgon

is.
Mike on the other hand, start’s off as a happy kid with his closest friends Dustin, Mike, Lucas, and Will. He is a part of the Wheeler family with his mom Karen, his dad Ted and his sisters, Nancy and Holly. One night when they were playing dungeons and dragons, Karen told the boys they had to leave because it was getting late. While mike peddled forward on his bike, he dropped his bike and ran between the trees because he heard something so scary he wanted to get home as fast as possible. As he hid in the trees, the Demogorgon found him, and took him away. Mike suspected something was wrong because he wasn’t at school. The whole town started searching for him as the police told Mike and his friends not to go searching. Well, the boys did not listen and went out in the rain to find him. They didn’t find Will, but they found Eleven. Which was the nickname Mike has given her after seeing the numbers on her wrist. He created an emotional bond between the two and he liked her but she didn’t understand because she hardly talked and if she did, it was usually about 1-3 words. Mike was determined to find Will, while Lucas was always saying how they wouldn’t. Mike also didn’t want to give up on Eleven. The two other boys were slowly starting to lose hope, but then Eleven helps them on this massive adventure as they travel to the upside down with help from their science teacher, Mr. Clarke who the boys have been close with. Mike’s character is brave and determined who believed in whatever he set his mind to.
They are both amazing actors and have talent for being so young. Their name is everywhere and they are known around the World for their acting. They both have characteristics that make them unique and not like any other show out there. Beyond acting, they are big on social media and have a few hidden talents. I would never be able to pick between the two because they’re so different but also somehow alike. They work well with each other and have become friends because of the show and how much they collaborate and work together.
