Stranger Things' greatest strength, though, is in the character arcs and incredible chemistry between the show's actors, not in its spectacle. While there are times when Stranger Things season 4 continues the Duffer brothers' pattern of pairing their stars, allowing them to focus on only two characters at a time, for the most part, it employs larger ensembles. 

Mike and Will share some memorable moments before embarking on a cross-country adventure with Jonathan and his closest friend, while Robin and Nancy form a bond during their visit to the Pennhurst Asylum but are otherwise part of a larger group. Only the Russian subplots, in which Hopper is paired with a Russian guard, follow the standard structure.

Given this significant shift, it's impressive that Stranger Things season 4 has such faith in its character arcs. It helps that the main villain, Vecna, delves into his target's secret and buried emotions; and there's a particularly poignant arc for Max in season 3, as she battles to deal with the guilt and sadness she feels after the death of her step-brother Billy. The idea that Will is gay is still present in the dialogue, but it's fascinating to observe that it's not addressed overtly in favour of a nuanced will-they-won't-they approach. And the sparks that continue to burn between Nancy and Steve when they re-enter the workforce are well-executed.
