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 Scoobie 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 occupied while we wait for new Stranger Things.

Twin Peaks

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.

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 fifteen 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

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, non-descript acoustic guitar background music — so there's a nice helping of happy nostalgia.
