1. Atari-Era Show

How many of you are watching “Stranger Things?”  It’s the show everyone is talking about.

For those who remember 1983, it’s like a time machine:

“Stranger Things,” the popular Netflix drama, has been praised for nailing many of the elements about its 1983 setting. Yes, back then we had Snack Pack pudding in the tin cans the show displays and not today’s wimpy plastic cups, we sometimes still played records and yes, the title credits resemble an era-appropriate Stephen King book cover.

Rolling Stone takes it further:

It’s one thing to set a TV series in the 1980s; it’s a whole other thing, however, to make it feel like it was actually shot during the Reagan-and-Rubik’s-Cube era. Matt and Ross Duffer’s new Netflix series Stranger Thingsis full of nostalgic nods to the decade and its pop-cultural products, but it’s also uncommonly rigorous about getting the details just right — whether it’s the many pitch-perfect music cues, the hat-tipping nods and homages to Eighties movies, or simply nailing the cringeworthy fashion statements of the day (those Mom jeans!).
