Stranger Things
A grand melange of ’80s pop culture references, Stranger Things blends Stand By Me, ET and the movies of John Carpenter to compelling effect. The plot is formulaic: a boy is missing, a mysterious creature is on the prowl and some shady authority figures are making a bloody mess of the ‘dean-up’ – but despite its use of these well-trodden tropes, Stranger Things is still a tantalising sci-fi mystery in its own right.
