An early scene in which a high school swot, studying in her bedroom, is surprised by her would-be boyfriend climbing through the window alludes to this Romeo and Juliet trope in numerous teen flicks, but most specifically Johnny Depp dropping in on Heather Langenkamp in A Nightmare on Elm Street, released in 1984. To such an extent do the Duffers pack their storylines with screen references that spotting them is a central pleasure for viewers. The Duffers have also visibly seen the X-Files, which, starting in 1993, would have been a major show of their childhood and was one in which investigation of the supernatural overlapped with political paranoia. This reimagining of the early 1980s also draws on TV and movie hits from slightly later, especially 1986 movie Stand by Me and 1990 horror miniseries It, both based on stories by King, and David Lynch’s small town weirdness series Twin Peaks. There are numerous narrative and visual references to Spielberg movies of the era, including ET and Poltergeist – especially pre-teenage boys cycling into plot twists – and to King stories, such as ’Salem’s Lot and the Shining, in which sleepy US communities are alarmingly transformed.

Charles Buchwalter, CEO of Symphony, characterised this as “a very good start”.īy the metrics that Netflix prefers, meanwhile – a deluge of media enthusiasm from traditional and social media – Stranger Things can be judged to have cut through the huge volume of TV dramas to an unusual degree. This made it the third most popular Netflix show in the equivalent period, behind the proven hits Orange is the New Black and Fuller House but ahead of House of Cards. It’s impossible to know how many viewers have watched all or part of the series because, to the irritation of media commentators and the suspicion of competing networks, Netflix is parsimonious with figures on the number and nature of its audience.īut according to data provided by the US media measurement company Symphony AdvancedMedia, conducted over the first 17 days after the program’s release on Netflix, Stranger Things averaged 8.2m viewers among adults aged 18-49.
