Stranger Things 2 Dominates Reviews and Social Media
When Stranger Things debuted on Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) in July 2016, it was a breakout hit and became one of the most streamed shows of the year. The series, which combines horror with a nostalgic view of 1980's pop culture, was lauded by fans and critics for combining a gripping story with compelling characters.
The long-awaited release of Stranger Things 2 in late October carried on in the tradition of its predecessor and recreated the buzz that made the original a smash hit. It captured a 95% Fresh on review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes and also garnered massive social media attention ahead of its release.
Buzz-worthy shows are one of the key drivers of new subscribers for Netflix, and its record of creating and acquiring noteworthy programming shows why the streaming pioneer will continue to succeed.
