Stephen King's 'The Institute' Is Like a 'Stranger Things' Prequel

Stephen King's celebrated and twisted mind shines again in MGM+'s latest show, The Institute. Pulling us into a cruel laboratory, it could be a prequel to the Netflix smashStranger Things. Both shows feature young people with extraordinary psychic abilities trapped and subjected to scientific testing by authority figures. However, where Stranger Things deals with supernatural threats from another dimension, The Institute shows the real horror of government experimentation on children, including its protagonist Luke Ellis.
