How might a Christian think about the wildly popular TV show Stranger Things? What is the worldview behind the show? Why is this show so popular and what does it mean to Gen Z?

We discuss the positives and negatives of the show, the demonic themes, the controversial "coming out" scene from season 5, and other important questions. Let us know what you think!
