Without Stranger Things, it wouldn’t be the best list. If you somehow missed the Duffer brothers’ ode to the 80’s horror and Steven Spielberg, things would go wrong soon. We watch El, an almost dumb girl who has been the subject of scientific experiments. He develops the telekinetic abilities he uses to repel monsters that invade the frightening alternative dimension. Indiana’s world, Hawkins, is lovingly depicted for anyone who needs the nostalgic hit of the ’80s, and ill-fitting characters in a stellar young cast are part of everything that makes this show a tour de force.

While the bleak technology series of Charlie Brooker’s anthology can be missed and missed at its best, Black Mirror offers its mini-films by exploring futuristic technology ideas through painfully human stories.

The technical aspect is revealed with ingenious timing and generally shows in a disturbing and sometimes uplifting way examining the consequences of our lives involved.
