Sci-Hub: removing barriers in the way of science

Government cover-ups, demonic hell-beasts and a cast full of beloved misfit characters make up this tour-de-force genre series. What began as an homage to ’80s cinema, with callouts to E.T., Dungeons & Dragons, Goonies and the works of Stephen King, has blossomed into a layered and sweeping sci-fi adventure. Stranger Things caught on like wildfire when the genre series quietly premiered its first season on Netflix in 2016.
