Stranger Things - What an excellent show. It is interesting to see a show that has so many homages and connections to the movies of the 80's and yet seem so original and exciting. I would say, if you loved sci-fi movies like E.T, Firestarter, Goonies as well as Stephen Spielberg, John Carpenter and Stephen King films then you will recognize and like Stranger Things. Not only does this show take you back in time to the 80's in both setting and feel but it also manages to deliver a highly entertaining show that is both a kids adventure and an adult horror movie. Netflix is on fire right now with their original programming and this series, 8 episodes long and already renewed for season 2, raises the bar for not only other Netflix series but for television in general. I could go on and on but there is no reason really. Your excuses not to get Netflix have just dwindled to practically nothing!
