The second season, often referred to as Stranger Things 2, picks up a year after the disappearance of Will Byers and the defeat of the Demogorgon. While the town of Hawkins attempts to return to normalcy, a larger, more sinister threat looms in the Upside Down—the Mind Flayer. This season excels by deepening the lore of the alternate dimension while focusing heavily on character growth, particularly the evolving bond between Dustin and the newcomer Max, and the protective relationship between Jim Hopper and Eleven.
