In our spoiler-free Stranger Things 4 review, we called it "a hugely ambitious gamble" that's full of "absorbing, action-packed, and horror-fuelled entry that's bursting with revelations aplenty". Season 4 volume 1 landed on Netflix in late May, with its seven episodes all running just shy of the runtime of a feature film. Writing anything else would give away the myriad twists in a show that is full of creepy fun, superhero-esque action, thrilling mysteries, and devilishly gruesome horror. Leaning heavily on Spielberg, John Carpenter and Stephen King – so much King, in fact – the story revolves around a small town, a group of friends, a missing person and a dodgy science lab. Stranger Things is a brilliant homage to '80s pop culture. Stranger Things is one of the best Netflix shows of all time.

Loosely based on the real-life Peaky Blinders gang that menacingly patrolled the streets in the late 19th and early 20th century, the show largely follows the exploits of Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy), the ambitious and cunning leader of the Shelby family.

Seasons on Netflix: 1 The Umbrella Academy Given the lack of new shows available to stream in early July, though, it may be worth checking out if you're a fan of Condor's back catalog or the TikTok generation.
