It's hard to believe that it's been three years since the first season of Stranger Things aired on our TV screens. The Netflix TV series, created by the Duffer Brothers, was a sleeper hit back in the summer of 2016, but since then, the world of Hawkins, Indiana, has only gotten more popular since then.
The show works as a fantastic homage to some of the most beloved pop culture of the 80s, including the novels of Stephen King, the movies of John Carpenter and Steven Spielberg, with a generous helping (and even an ex cast-member) of the Goonies thrown in for good measure.
A lot has changed since then: Donald Trump was elected president of the United States, Great Britain voted to leave the European Union, and the cast has changed a lot. It's always going to happen when your cast is just about to hit puberty, but over the course of the last few seasons, the stars of the series have grown up a lot. Even the adults have changed, styling new haircuts and facial hair in the latest episodes.

Season three introduced a whole slew of new characters to the roster. But in a surprising twist, a certain smug Russian scientist ended up becoming a firm fan-favourite.
