Stranger Things, a Gobstopper of All Things Eighties

Published



Netflix’s new series Stranger Things has taken the binge-addicted world by storm, and for good reason: it’s fantastic.

The eight-part original series is set in the 1980s in the small town of Hawkins, Indiana. It has everything you’d want to remember from all of your favorite 1980s flicks: innocent nerds riding around on bicycles with walkie talkies, a harmless-looking government facility that contains secret projects, blood-hungry aliens, teen love, missing children, and Winona Ryder.
