14 Shows You Should Watch After You've Finished "Stranger Things"
Fill that Eleven-sized hole in your heart.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Can't get enough of Eleven saving everyone all the time? Well, make way for another badass chick who's used to saving the world (a lot): Buffy Summers, teenage vampire slayer. Buffy and the Scooby Gang are a little older than the Hawkins kids, but they still have that same "we're outsiders who love each other unconditionally" dynamic. And Willow Rosenberg will fill the Barb-sized hole in your heart. It's seven seasons long, which'll keep you occupied while we wait for new Stranger Things.

Twin Peaks
Stranger Things is very similar to Twin Peaks in a lot of ways — small town, weird stuff happens — but this '90s sci-fi staple just feels creepier. It's campier, weirder, and very David Lynch-y. Plus, "coffee and contemplation" easily could have been a Special Agent Dale Cooper line. It's only two seasons long, so you can whip right through — just make sure you have plenty of coffee and pie in the house before you dive in.
ABC
Jessica Jones
The Netflix original is a much darker, more sexual show than Stranger Things, but it also tackles supernatural powers and the emotional/physical toll they'd realistically take on a person. Jessica is like Eleven in 15 years — if she had never made friends and also became an alcoholic. There's only one 13-episode season so far, so it's a relatively fast watch.
Netflix
Charmed
This is like if Mike, Dustin, and Lucas were sisters instead of dude BFFs, and were also witches. Charmed is much more fantasy than sci-fi, but you still get some rad monsters and special effects, and lots more romantic drama. Plus, it's got that early '90s feel through all eight seasons — crop tops, butterfly hair clips, platform sandals, nondescript acoustic guitar background music — so there's a nice helping of happy nostalgia.
