Stranger Things (Netflix) — Netflix’s latest original series is just eight episodes long — the perfect length to binge-watch over the weekend — but it’s chock full of ’80s nostalgia. Think the best of Steven Spielberg and Stephen King wrapped up in a mysterious government investigation. When a young boy goes missing, his mother — Winona Ryder, everyone — is desperate to find him. It’s the show you never knew you needed.
