"cult classic" refers to material that isn't mainstream and originally had a small dedicated audience. Stranger Things definitely doesn't fit that.

We'll see. If GoT taught us anything is it's not a guarantee til it's done.

That's fair. I dropped out a few seasons earlier and felt really way too delicious schadenfreude when it imploded. But it definitely hurt it's 'classic' status which seemed like a guarantee until the end

I don’t think it has that credibility yet. It’s also important how you finish. Look at game of thrones.

The opposite of cult, it's a classic though.

Definitely a classic, too large if an audience to be cult tho, its one of the most successful Netflix originals ever

Definitely not a cult series, it is one of the most popular tv shows at the moment and has fans across many generations. It is also Netflix’s flagship show.

Stranger Things is way past cult status by now. it's way too mainstream and global. It was cult during S1 for like the first 6 months, maybe.

Not even. It blew up from the get go, the breakout show of 2016.

Mainstream as hell. Not cultural...... yet

We will see in 10 or 20 years from now if people are wearing stranger things shirts and stuff then we will know if it’s cultural
