Our take on Stranger Things
This 2016 phenomenon drops a 1980s small town into supernatural nightmare when a boy vanishes and a strange girl with powers appears, pursued by secret experiments and a creature from another dimension. A loving throwback to Spielberg-era adventure with real scares and heart, it became a global obsession. If its nostalgia and dread hooked you, seek out sci-fi horror series and 80s-flavoured mysteries about kids facing the unknown.
