Since we’re talking about Netflix shows set in the 1980s, there really was no other place to begin than Stranger Things. Created by the Duffer Brothers, it’s possibly the single biggest hit that Netflix has had to date. Kicking off in 1983, the series takes place in the sleepy town of Hawkins, Indiana, where there’s always something profoundly weir...
If you’ve never taken the time to watch Black Mirror then you’re really missing out. Charlie Brooker’s anthology series is a brilliantly nightmarish take on what the future of technology might hold. As creative, compelling and unnerving as the show usually is, special episode Black Mirror: Bandersnatchtakes things to another level. A spin-off from ...

Featuring a spooky house containing doors that can be opened in various magical ways, Locke & Key makes great viewing for both teens and adults.

The 2001 movie Wet Hot American Summer may have totally flown under the radar on release, but in the years since it has built a cult following, which in turn has given the property a new lease of life. Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp is a prequel series to the exceptionally offbeat parody of 80s summer camp comedies. It’s putting it mild...
Not every 80s-set TV show on Netflix is filled with unbridled nostalgia for the era. Some, such as When They See Us, directly address the darker realities of the decade. This fact-based drama was created by acclaimed filmmaker Ava DuVernay (whose films Selma, 13th and A Wrinkle in Time also prioritise black voices). When They See Us deals with the ...
Another fact-based (but not quite so hard-hitting) Netflix series set in the 80s is Luis Miguel: The Series. While the title character may not be a household name in English-speaking countries, he’s a big name in Mexican music. This Spanish-language show casts Diego Boneta as Miguel and details the singer’s rise to fame in the early 80s. As you mig...
