Binge-worthy TV
The first and second seasons of Stranger Things proved to be incredibly popular; and if the first reviews of season three are anything to go by, the latest series could be even more bingeable than ever.
With more than 15 million viewers tuning in to the first episode of season 2 in the three days after its release, the 80s throwback spook-fest has become a huge success for Netflix.
The launch of Stranger Things 3 comes after the news emerged that Netflix is becoming more selective with the big budget shows it produces, in the face of increased competition from rival streaming platforms.
While Amazon Prime TV has always been a rival for the streaming giant, Disney Plus and Apple TV Plus are looming on the horizon, with both set to launch in late 2019.
