Did You Hear? Netflix’s Stranger Things is Summer’s Hottest Show!

Following its July 15 debut on Netflix the online buzz surrounding the streamer’s summer hit “Stranger Things” has been virtually impossible to escape. The series created a social media firestorm, with viewers urging friends to tune in and everyone drawing comparisons to such ‘80s fantasy classics as “ET: The Extraterrestrial,” “Poltergeist” and “The Goonies,” among others.  Those comparisons were on point; even with its many scares the series is a loving homage to everything about that period.
