It's been almost six years since the first season of 'Stranger Things' was released on Netflix, and during that time it has won seven Emmys and countless hearts all over the world.

Fans adore the show for the emotional rollercoaster it takes them on, with the Stephen King vibes and '80s nostalgia hitting you right in the feels as you try to catch all the jokes while following intricate group dynamics.

What I'm trying to say is there's a lot going on. So much so that many (rightfully) choose to rewatch the whole thing, and find new hidden details and Easter Eggs with every viewing.

So we at Bored Panda decided to put together a collection of such gems, and give you even more reasons to appreciate the series. Enjoy!
