I was so high this weekend I rewatched Stranger Things because I was too lazy to find the remote.
https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Stranger-Things-3.jpgIs this a metaphor or a euphemism?
I liked Season 1 and it should have started and ended there. Lamer Things is recycled 80's pop culture/horror crap shown on corporate tax-free app-related Netsux. For you kangaroo rooters who don't know what Netsux is well, its corporate entity that rips offs syndicated shows by cheating other major television production companies by short changing them on contracts. Now thanks to the F A T Orange man, Netsux also doesn't pay a god damn dime in taxes which means bigger budgets for shows like Stranger Things so they in turn can hire expensive lawyers to avoid copyright suits for when they steal from the likes of Steven King.
Point 2Lamer Things was the stolen invention of the Duffer Brothers and Sean Levy. Then Duffer Brothers are rumored to be the illegitimate sons of Duff Man from the Simpsons and as for Levy he was the
levy that went dry in the Don McClean song.

SEASON 1 A couple of really smacking stupid, suburban white kids mask their homosexuality by playing Dungeons and Dragons in their mother's basement in Nothingbumbuggerville, Indiana where after a binge-eating pizza lose track of time and head for home without getting shot, mugged or raped or come combination of the three. One of the kids sees a monster whose face looks like Courtney Love's vagina, abducts him and keeps him in the "Upside Down" which is really an unoriginal concept taken right out of a Robert Heilman book. Follow so far?
So the kid who is abducted mother goes batshit neurotic between her Valium binders and white trash pre-Walgreeens corporate job where she develops a fetish for a landline telephones bought on credit. Enter a F A T cop who speaks in riddles and apathy and doesn't care for the abducted kid because he was "nailing" a cheerleader in high school. Enter a jock, his jock-ass girlfriend, the jock-ass girlfriend's F A T MAGA friend who is later consumed by Courtney Love's vagina. Enter a clueless but very cool science teacher who seems to be the only one who knows what's going on without knowing what is going on.
Then out of all people Sinead O'Connor shows up. Sinead O'Connor turns out to responsible for releasing Courtney Love's vagina on the world. As fate would have it, Sinead O'Connor destroys Courtney Love's vagina after bathing in bath salt and a weird ritualistic southern California enema indoor swimming pool in a high school ritual while the Valium-popping mom and the F A T cop find her annoying son in a forgotten David Lynch movie set.

Or do they?
SEASON 2 Netsux went all out by giving this tripe a bigger budget by upgrading to using a Mac book to do the shittiest special effects on and new characters who add nothing to the advancement of the plot. This was deemed to be acceptable since this show really has no plot.
It all kicks off when these untalented actor dipsnots are playing Atari Pong in what appears to be a clean, almost too clean 80's arcade when wouldn’t you know it, the annoying one develops a flashback from ingesting Purple Microdot and Quaaludes and starts hallucinating and sees a giant tarantula in a thunderstorm. About it, really. It goes downhill from there.

The tarantula tries to sway one of them to become a Republican by making him a spy for the CIA and to instill a pre-Bush war agenda. The annoying kid agrees and also employs a "psyop" climate change deny program by believing that the environment is really cold and that global warming is a myth purporting by the Chinese and Russian think tank groups who want to destroy Yankee imperialism but the giant tarantula is out to stop them.
Soon afterward, Monsanto shows up and starts killing off the vegetation and then comes the gaping plot holes and it's really not worth mentioning further.
