Stranger Things Season 4’s deeper meaning, explained - Why it’s better than ever

Stranger Things’ epic fourth season hits close to home: unlike in the previous two seasons, the threat feels personal.

We also get to see new dimensions of old characters, exciting protagonists like Nancy Wheeler are foregrounded with a unique vigor, and a fresh antagonist digs into everyone’s emotional baggage. Here’s our take on the three ways that Season 4 of Stranger Things is a great return to what made the show so successful in the first place – and on what Season 4 all really meant.
