‘Watching STRANGER THINGS is [like] watching Steve King’s Greatest Hits. I mean that in a good way.’

Four days after Stranger Things 3, Netflix tweeted that 40.7 million accounts watched the horror.

‘Stranger Things 3 is breaking Netflix records,’ the company wrote. ‘40.7 million household accounts have been watching the show since its July 4 global launch — more than any other film or series in its first four days. And 18.2 million have already finished the entire season.’

It’s pretty clear that Stephen King isn’t the only one who’s absolutely obsessed with the show and honestly who could not be.
