Enter another dimension with Stranger Things

If you’re sick of the humdrum or have a taste for suspenseful thrillers, you’ll love Stranger Things—a love letter to the '80s classics that captivated a generation and is filled with plot twists. Depending on your TV, the darker scenes in this dark series can make it hard to see all the action. But with some smartphones enabling AMOLED video, your phone might just be a better way to see all the murky scenes in the parallel universe they call the "Upside Down." Spooky!
