TV review - "Stranger Things" (2017) ****

Very enjoyable pastiche of 80s cinema - the work of people like Steven King, John Carpenter, Steven Spielberg. I also think of the movie DARYL. Several heroes - the boys who go looking for their friend, the washed up sheriff, the mysterious girl, mum of the boy, a teenage girl and the brother of the missing boy. Some excellent baddies - Matthew Modine with a shock of white hair and his underlings.

Genuine spooky moments and a lot of intelligence. Great to see Winona Ryder back in a hit.
