The new animated series, “Stranger Things: Tales from ‘85,” arrives on Netflix Thursday. It tells a story that takes place between seasons two and three of the show – after Eleven closes the gate to the Upside Down, but before the Russian plot unfolds. It’s common for TV shows to expand their stories through things like books, comics, or audio dramas, especially within genres like science fiction and adventure. We’ve seen this with shows like “Batman ’66” and even classic series like “The Brady Bunch.” Fans love getting more content, and “Stranger Things: Tales from ‘85” is similar to previous “Stranger Things” graphic novels, but with the added elements of animation, sound, and voice acting.
