When Stranger Things premiered in 2016, it wasn't the Demogorgan we stuck around for (even though it was an original, unique-looking monster). Nor was it the story (even if it was superbly crafted). More than anything, it was the core cast of lovable nerdy D&D-playing kids (aka, The Party) that kept us coming back for each new season — along with that Stephen King/Stephen Spielberg/1980s-type vibe that came with them. Stranger Things concluded at the end of last year with the series finale, but those kids and that vibe will be returning in three weeks with 10 new episodes.
