We are rewatching the entire Stranger Things series with the kid and it’s actually nice to see how consistent the threads are on the show - be it characters, or story arcs. Like it took us by surprise to see Max in very first episode of season 2 - we really thought she came in season 3! Same with the Russia storyline - that has been around since season 1! And finally, it is more evident than before that show is so much more about everyone else than Eleven who is kind of hyped up as the star of the show.
