Unlike a lot of shows, Stranger Things: Season 2 ends with giving you something to get hyped about, a bit of fan service, and presenting a calm before the storm.
The first major battle goes down against the shadow monster’s babies as new relationships, romantic and platonic, form.
As Will continues to deal with his ability to go to the Upside Down, Dustin discovers what came out of Will last year. Alongside that, Eleven meets Max.
As Will confides in Mike, and Nancy gets tired of everyone acting like Barbara isn’t gone, something is afoot with the local plant life.
And so Season 1 comes to an end with a few touching moments but some eyebrow-raising events and a sacrifice.
As Hopper and Joyce meet Terry Ives, Dustin and Mike go on a search for Eleven. Also, Jonathan and Nancy grow closer.
While one missing person we are given some hope for, it doesn’t look good for the other one at all.
