Few shows have defined the streaming era like Stranger Things. What started in 2016 as a small-town mystery about a missing boy grew into Netflix’s biggest English-language series — and with Season 5 wrapping things up, the whole story is now available to binge from beginning to end.
What is Stranger Things about?
In the 1980s town of Hawkins, Indiana, 12-year-old Will Byers vanishes. While his friends, family and the local police chief search for him, they meet Eleven — a girl with psychic powers who has escaped a secret government lab — and discover a terrifying parallel dimension called the Upside Down.
Every season adds a new threat, but the heart of the show stays the same: friendship, loyalty and a gang of kids on bikes who refuse to give up on each other.
