With the series STRANGER THINGS, streaming provider NETFLIX released THE surprise hit par excellence last year. The mystery series pushed just the right nostalgia buttons with fans. Set in the 1980s, the story of a group of boys who must rescue their friend Will from the clutches of a supernatural creature is infused with the flair of old Spielberg films, spiced with a touch of Stephen King and "The X-Files." If you liked "The Goonies," "E.T.," "Starman" or "Stand by Me," you can't help but love "Stranger Things." The team behind the Duffer brothers, Matt and Ross, have done a great job of bringing back the '80s without looking dusty or like a clumsy rip-off. The series is an exciting, entertaining, and also original homage, with lots of nice references, some good shock effects, and plenty of charm and heart. And that resonates with the audience.
Following the huge success of the first season, the Duffers are releasing the second season in time for Halloween 2017, which will be set a year after Will's rescue. The first teaser, released now, suggests great things to come. Next to the MARVEL series "Jessica Jones", "Daredevil" and "Luke Cage", as well as gems like "Narcos" or "Orange is the new Black", "Stranger Things" is without question one of the best arguments for subscribing to NETFLIX. The only drawback: it's still a hell of a long time until October. You can look on the bright side, though: There's plenty of time to watch the first season a few more times and listen to the cool retro soundtrack up and down.
