10 things nobody wants to admit about Stranger Things

10. Nancy should be single

Throughout the seasons of Stranger Things, we’ve watched as a love triangle between Nancy, Steve, and Jonathan formed. At the start of the show, Nancy begins a romance with Steve, a popular guy at school who seems like he could be a jerk. But he goes through tremendous character development and becomes one of the most popular and beloved characters on the show. That said, Nancy gets close with Jonathan and they form a connection, one that viewers really can’t deny.

At the end of the fourth season, Nancy is in a weird spot after getting close with Steve once more and attempting to date long-distance with Jonathan. Fans love to ship either “Stancy” or “Jancy,” but what people have to realize is that Nancy is better off alone! She’s gone through so much since we first meet her in season 1 and I think she really needs to deal with it on her own. We can tell she might be torn between the two guys, leaving us to believe she might not be fully invested in either.

9. New episodes should be released weekly

Imagine this. It’s a Friday night in the middle of summer. You’re looking forward to watching the Fourth of July fireworks this weekend and spending time with family barbequing and hanging by the pool. But before the festivities begin, there’s a new episode of Stranger Things to dive into that night. Sound magical? It honestly would be magical if Netflix released new episodes of the show weekly! It would make a new season so much more special.

I know there’s always been the debate about dropping new seasons all at once versus weekly, and with a show like Stranger Things, I think we’d all benefit from getting one episode at a time. For Netflix, it would keep subscribers around longer, and for fans, it would keep our anticipation and interest up as well. I know it’s hard not to binge episodes all at once, so dropping them weekly would allow us to savor the season.
