Mere months after the conclusion of the sci-fi drama’s fifth and final season, the new Netflix series Stranger Things: Tales from '85 takes us back to Hawkins – and back in time to the months between seasons 2 and 3.
The modern 3D animation is, admittedly, a technological leap on from the shows that inspired Tales from '85, including The Real Ghostbusters, even if it does feel a little less charming as a result. But despite the decision not to echo that 1980s’ 2D feel, the animated series does succeed in recapturing the magic of its live-action counter part. And once you adjust to the new voice cast, the essence of our favourite characters ultimately shines through – Elisha Williams (Lucas) and Braxton Quinney (Dustin) being particular standouts.
The main draw for many though will be the chance to spend some bonus hours with the main party prior to the darkness of seasons four and five. Tales from '85 captures the magic of the show's earlier seasons and keeps the cast united for much of its ten episode run, something the original show often didn’t do. And there’s even space to add a newbie into the mix - Nikki, the rebellious daughter of the new substitute teacher at Hawkins Middle School.

For those wanting to bridge the gap between seasons two and three or just spend more time in the company of the characters we love, the trip back to the mid-80s is well worth it.
