As its title implies, "Stranger Things" is a show about the bizarre events that grip the otherwise sleepy suburb of Hawkins, Indiana. Secret laboratories, psychic kids, faceless demons, and reality rifts are unusual, to be sure, but one of the strangest things that happens over the course of the hit show's run is Steve Harrington's character development.
Series creators Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer have revealed (via Rotten Tomatoes) that they initially intended to kill Steve off. But actor Joe Keery's talent and charm proved to be too valuable a resource to waste. Thus, fans got a unique and nuanced character arc, brought to thrilling life by Keery's warm, affable, and increasingly unselfconscious performance. The man wears a sailor boy outfit for all of Season 3 and manages to make it look good.
Steve's journey from big man on campus to big softy means viewers glimpse many different shades of him along the way. Sometimes, it's remarkably easy to love Steve — and sometimes, it's hard not to hate him. These are Steve "the Hair" Harrington's best and worst "Stranger Things" episodes, ranked.
