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

There's definitely a dark tone to "Shadow and Bone" that's reminiscent of "Stranger Things," even if the show is a fantasy series rather than sci-fi. The show features Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li) as its formidable lead, a young cartographer who learns that she's actually a Grisha with magical powers (Eleven vibes, anyone?). In fact, she's the prophesied Sun Summoner who people believe will finally close the terrifying Fold, a hellscape of darkness created by the Darkling. The Volcra creatures, one of the nasty flesh-eating monsters in the Fold, would definitely give the Mind Flayer and Demogorgon a run for their money.
