Netflix's Stranger Things Looks Like Steven Spielberg Meets Stephen King

The Netflix Press Release:

Set in Hawkins Indiana in the 1980’s, Stranger Things chronicles the search for a young boy who vanishes into thin air under highly suspicious circumstances. His mother (Winona Ryder) opens an investigation into the boy’s disappearance with local authorities that unravels a series of mysteries involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl. A love letter to the ubiquitous cult classics of the 80’s, Stranger Things is also a coming of age story for the boy’s three closest friends that draws them into a world where mysteries lurk beneath the surface.

I was hoping Entertainment Weekly would put the article up on their Web site, but I haven't seen it so far, so I'll just say that in this week's issue Stranger Things is #10 in their SUMMER TV PREVIEW: The 10 Shows You Can't Miss!

Little confused; is it a made for Netflix movie, or, an ongoing series?

Thanks
