If you would have told me back in 2016, the year Stranger Things came out, that nine years later I would be a big fan and deeply annoyed that it’s taking so long for the final season to drop (synchronize your watches for November 26!), I would not have believed you. It was clearly going to be too scary for my taste. Yet now I love it. And not only, as a 1980 baby from Indiana, for its Midwestern '80s nostalgia and the goofy way it plays with the Cold War.
