The teams that developed in this season were the best yet. The scene in the hospital when two pieces of the monster formed an evil sub-monster that terrorized our heroes was incredibly scary, as it showed its ability to deform to move through small spaces (a vent in a hospital door), then re-form once inside the room to nearly kill Nancy. Of course, Eleven was able to get Billy to redeem himself in the end, but throughout most of the eight hours of the season, he was a public face for a growing but confined threat. By possessing him early on then using him to recruit more victims to turn into goo and grow the monster, the Duffer brothers took an unlikeable character and gave us all a reason to really hate him. It made Billy, Max’s elder brother who was kind of a throwaway character from last season, the ideal vehicle for the monster. This was the perfect kind of evil for this show. He took form by possessing first rats, then people, turning them into a blob-like goo and absorbing them into himself. This season, the Mindflayer from last season made a real-world appearance. “Stranger Things” has a history of getting inspiration for their monsters from the classic roleplaying game Dungeons and Dragons. The monster this year was perfect: scary, real-world, and able to spread his terror by biting people.
We saw Will alone amongst the couples, a place we’ve all been before, and it made for great entertainment. The writers, directors, and actors illustrated that so well this season. That age you find the opposite sex more interesting than the childhood toys you’ve been so attached to (in “Stranger Things’s” case that’s Will the wise’s obsession with Dungeons and Dragons), it’s a tough thing to accept.
The day we realized we were moving past that was sad, and tough to deal with.
I remember the days my best friend and I had giant G.I. There’s teenage love, summer jobs, fitting in when you’re the one not dating someone, and the scary realization that your friends aren’t always going to do the same thing all the time. The kids are growing up, and that makes for some great depth of story this year.

It wasn’t bloated with storylines that didn’t need to be there, it was a brisk adventure, more akin to some of the ’80s blockbusters it referenced than the typical TV show. It was more addictive than the cocaine from “Narcos.” The Duffer brothers concocted a story you couldn’t take a break from at any point. Each episode ended on a cliffhanger, which made you immediately click over to watch the next one.
