Stranger things have happened...

When the first season of Stranger Things debuted on Netflix in the summer of 2016, the show struck a nerve with millions of viewers worldwide and received broad critical acclaim. The series has gone on to win six Emmy Awards, but its success was driven more than anything by word of mouth, resonating across generations. Viewers feel personal connections to the characters.

  • Deep dives into the cultural artefacts and references that inspired the look and feel of the show
  • A map of everyday Hawkinsβ€”with clues charting the network of the Upside Down
  • A digital copy of the Morse code disk Eleven uses, so you can decipher secret messages embedded throughout the text
