A 1980s small town is the setting and 80s thrillers are the inspiration for “Stranger Things” (Netflix, streaming) a new series in which Winona Ryder plays a harried mother whose son Will disappears after a Dungeons & Dragons session. As in “Goonies,” it’s up to the friends to find him and encounter the town’s dark mysteries.
Also online, the documentary “Tony Robbins: I Am Not Your Guru” (Netflix, streaming) peeks into one of those expensive weekend seminars into self-actualization. Director Joe Berlinger, who previously followed the therapy sessions of Metallica, seems to be a believer.
On another online service, “East Los High” (Hulu, streaming) returns for its fourth season of heavy issues among the young in the Latino community.
