Looking back, July 15, 2016, was a major day in television history. What was so significant about that otherwise insignificant Friday? It was the day that “Stranger Things” dropped its first eight episodes on Netflix, launching an iconic run that concludes on December 31, both on streaming and with theatrical screenings.
Up to that point, even the most popular Netflix shows (“House of Cards,” “Orange Is The New Black“) felt sorta niche; “Stranger Things” was different. After quietly releasing on the streamer and steadily building word-of-mouth buzz over the course of weeks, the show became an indisputable mainstream hit, sustaining its popularity across all subsequent seasons.
