When "Stranger Things" hit Netflix in 2016, it took the world by storm. The show, which takes place in a small Indiana town called Hawkins in the 1980s and follows a group of kids as they combat a series of terrifying monsters and villains, has brought in millions of viewers per season. In fact, Season 4 smashed the Nielsen streaming record (https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/stranger-things-nielsen-streaming-top-10-ratings-1235301882/) with a whopping 7.2 billion minutes streamed between May 30th and June 5th.

The show is praised for many of its elements, from its cast to its taut screenwriting. It boasts an Emmy Award (https://pitchfork.com/news/emmys-2022-stranger-things-wins-best-music-supervision/) for music, as well as Golden Globe (https://www.goldenglobes.com/tv-show/stranger-things) nominations for performances by Winona Ryder and David Harbour, not to mention multiple nominations for best overall drama series (via IMDb (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4574334/)). But naturally, with that many viewers, not everyone is going to love every aspect of the show, and you're going to find people taking issue with certain storylines.

Here are several storylines in "Stranger Things" that fans absolutely cannot stand.
