I don't want to say that Stranger Things is the X-Files of the late 2010s

but I kinda think it is?

In that it's a TV show that locks down both a new visual look and a new social zeitgeist (unironic kid-friendly four-colour 80s retro) and runs with it.

The reason I don't want to say that is because it seems a whole bunch of shows already did this?

but somehow Stranger Things feels substantial / influential to me in a way the others aren't.

I don't understand why and may be very wrong.

@browneyedgirl I only did because my brother happens to have a Netflix account.
