“Stranger Things” premiered on Netflix in July 2016, and the science fiction horror drama became an instant hit. The show follows a group of 1980s outcast middle schoolers in the hellish suburbs of an Indiana small town who find a girl with superpowers and fight monsters from another dimension. Oh, and evil Russians.
Sound ridiculous? Definitely. Is the show better than anyone could’ve imagined? A thousand times, yes. In fact, you can thank “Stranger Things” for helping make the ’80s cool again for a whole new generation. The show now has become a global phenomenon.
