RE: Stranger Things: Is there a gay character on the show?
I am watching Season 1 atm, downloaded the first 2 seasons, enjoying the show, albeit a little scarey for me for last thing at night, but them I’m a wimp. To answer your question, well I picked up on the possibility that he could be gay in the first couple of episodes and from what you have shown us, it appears that this is the intent of the story teller. He is a very sensitive young boy and maybe they thought it was necessary to portray him with gay tendencies in order to explain his sensitivity and mummy’s boy nature. It seems that sensitivity in males often needs explanation! Not that I agree with that, but the world view, especially back in the 80’s leant towards that mindset.
I hope you enjoy the show!! It’s one of my favorites on Netflix tbh!
Thanks, I am now a few episodes into season 2, now, very bizarre plot! A cool show though.
What did you think about Season 1?
Season 1 is a very well rounded intro to the characters developing each one so e really get well aquainted with their younger selves. In the beginning the four friends have their fantasy world they indulge in to escape the reality of the bullies at school. When Will disappears suddenly their fantasy roles thy develop through playing Dungeons & Dragons, become real and I like the way these young Innovative minds come together as a team.
I like the way season one resolves, Will is found but the many other angles, like the truth about the Hawkins Lab are still only partly explained, begging for another season to delve deeper. Although Will is found he is obviously haunted by the monsters and not OK. I just had to start season 2 as soon as I finished season 1. Great binge watching show, exciting, compelling, great for all ages.
It’s such a great show and very binge worthy! I love all the characters/actors in Stranger Things!!
They are great, all individuals each with their own quirky nature. I wonder if there will be a Season 3?
Season 3 will come out late Spring or early Summer next year (2019)!!
