New On Netflix






Stranger Things
We’ve had a long wait for the second instalment of the Duffer Brothers sci-fi smash hit, but finally the young residents of Hawkins, Indiana are back – and just in time for Halloween. The plot for the sequel has been kept firmly under wraps, but several cryptic clues released on social media suggest that the small rural town is far from being a safe haven. Get ready to binge the whole series, and then feel totally bereft when it’s finished.

From October 27.

For the last two years the catwalks have been awash with sulking teenagers hiding in their hoodies, huge trailing trousers and enormous coats inside of which you could shelter a small family and their fridge.
