Netflix Officially Retcons Stranger Things

Reviews of Stranger Things: Tales from ’85 generally say it’s an enjoyable spin-off, though not always captivating, and it does have some plot problems. For example, the show changes established timelines. Also, a storyline about creatures from the Upside Down wasn’t ever part of the original series, creating another inconsistency. The events in this spin-off are surprisingly large in scope, with Eleven, Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, and Max battling numerous creatures, including a powerful ‘Queen Bee,’ and ultimately sealing a significant gateway to the Upside Down.
