Quotes

Matt Duffer

Co-creator of Stranger Things

“That's a breakup. They are broken up. It's hard to recall when exactly that idea came, but I think it was us and the writers. All felt that Nancy needed to end up on her own and be independent and have an opportunity to find herself.”

“I mean, how many people wind up with their girlfriend or boyfriend that they met in high school?”

Jonathan Byers

A character in Stranger Things, portrayed by Charlie Heaton

“I figure that I have screwed up enough with you that it'd be nice to get something right for once, in the end. Nancy Wheeler, will you not marry me?”

WION reviewer

“The three episodes work in moments; the Upside Down world is framed well, and the actors did their best with what they were asked to do. But what can they do when the story itself is stuck between two distinct worlds? Henry Creel and Vecna had the best moments in the show; one of the best scenes was when Will controlled Vecna's mind. Nevertheless, despite how Volume 2 lacked at many points, with no thrill at some points, fans will watch it, and this is what the Duffer Brothers had built in the past nine years.”
