SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/29qBUt7 About Stranger Things: A love letter to the supernatural classics of the '80s, Stranger Things is the story of a young boy who vanishes into thin air.
In a recent Venture Beat article Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said they are not looking to go all in with VR since it is hard to binge watch content in VR. He was quoted as saying VR will have a"big impact" on gaming, but that when it comes to watching content, the medium is too involving. "You’re exhausted after 20 minutes,"
