Just realized I’m just a bit older than the fictional age of the youngest character in Stranger Things, Erica (9 in 1984, so b 1975). The main characters would be a couple of years older. No wonder the show feels so spot on, despite me growing up on the other side of the planet.

Besides the obvious cosmetic nostalgia, the show captures the sense of childhood as a small local bubble of friends kinda cut off from both the broader world and the adult world.
