When Stranger Things first appeared on Netflix in 2016, it was a sensation. The supernatural, retroset 80s noir about a group of kids who stumble across a young girl with telekinetic powers married The Goonies with The X-Files and, well, just about every show or film you’d ever watched from the 80s.
