On October 27, Netflix dropped the very much awaited new season of "Stranger Things". After a year and a half of waiting, we finally see how our favorite characters are doing and what they are up to now. Dustin gets some new pearly whites and can't stop cussing. Joyce has a boyfriend! Mike is constantly trying to reach El. Will is trying his best to be "normal" again. Jonathan finally gets to shoot his shot after Nancy and Steve part ways. Oh, and you'll never believe who's been protecting El!
The second season will have you on a roller coaster of emotions. You'll laugh. You'll cry, You'll get annoyed. You'll want to smack some characters. And, that's what makes is one of the best shows. From start to finish, you'll be on your toes.
If you're like me who binge-watched the entire thing (to all my friends who thought I was kidding when I said I was going to watch it in one day, now do you believe me?), you've probably had the same reactions as me throughout this new season. What better way than to have the cast themselves depict those reactions!
1. That car chase to start off the new season
That girl Kali made the tunnel collapse, except it was an illusion. Like, WHAT?
2. When Kali's nose started bleeding and you peep that number on her wrist, you're like "Yoooo, who dis girl tho?"
Oh, hold . . . Possibly some relation to our homegirl Eleven?
3. Getting way too hyped when you hear the intro
4. Not knowing whether to laugh or be scared when Will has an episode while the rest of the gang roast Keith
What shit is going down this season!?
5. Actually checking the new boy's booty when one of the girls said, "Look at it go."
Drop that butt workout, please!
6. Mike always checking if El is on the other line making you realize most boys your age ain't shit
He' s been calling El for the past 352 days! I'm not crying, YOU'RE CRYING!
7. Being so happy to see our favorite girl El is alive but also shocked because of who's been helping her hide
She's back at it again with the Eggos . . . and with Hopper?
8. Gassing up the boys in their Ghostbuster costumes as if you're the mother, or they let alone hear you
9. Billy trying to run them over and Max taking the wheel literally got you on the edge of your seat
10. Relating to Nancy as you watch her not care at all and binge-drink
11. Tearing up at that scene with Mike and Will having a heart-to-heart talk
12. Already knowing that little slimy creature Dustin decided to rescue is a demogorgon
13. Saying "Same, girl, same!" when El decides to break Hopper's "Don't Be Stupid" rules
14. And then, hyping her up when she makes Max fall off her skateboard as she tries to impress Mike
15. Getting annoyed with Hopper trying to ground El and feeling bad for her when she throws THAT tantrum
16. Getting freaked out when Nancy and Jonathan get cornered by those government people at the park
17. Shaking your head like a disappointed mother even though Dustin manages to hit the demogorgon right into that dug in his backyard
He wouldn't have to wear a full out sports gear if he wasn't so naive!
18. Being so shook when El finds her real mother AND learns that she has a sister
19. When Jonathan and Nancy kiss the heck out of each other, you're like, "YES! FINALLY! ABOUT TIME!"
You know you've been waiting for THAT too.
20. Meanwhile, the blossoming bromance between Dustin and Steve got your heart melting into a puddle
Steve has come a long way since last season and I couldn't be prouder.
21. Being so happy for El when she meets her sister but immediately hating Kali for trying to corrupt her
22. Crying at the part where one of the demogorgons attacks and kills Bob
C'MON, just when he was finally becoming my favorite, you had to kill him off? WOW, HE DESERVED BETTER!
23. Jumping for joy when El walks into the Byers' house
24. Max stabbing Billy and almost hitting his manhood with Steve's nail bat got you shook to the core
25. Not even being surprised anymore when El saves the day yet again
And, now the wait for a new season begins again. I know, I know. I hate waiting for a year too. But, if we all go crazy during that time, then we'll go crazy together.
