28 Shows Like "Stranger Things" For Sci-Fi Fans

The similarities between this German supernatural Netflix series and "Stranger Things" are uncanny as both involve a small-town mystery and missing children. Like "Black Mirror," it does have a darker twist than "Stranger Things," which alternates between sci-fi suspense and wholesome '80s nostalgia. Season one of "Dark" starts in 2019, but we also see the plot unfold in 1986 and 1953 thanks to time travel. The series focuses on members of four different families who discover a wormhole in the cave system underneath the nuclear power plant by their small German town — isn't that just so reminiscent of the Upside Down?
