After a long wait, Stranger Things season 4 is finally coming in May 2022 to the streaming giant, but not with all the episodes. Part 2 will reach our screens in July 2022. But do you remember why you watched Stranger Things in the first place?

Our sole reason was the setting, where the plot develops around a few kids and some unnatural phenomenon. But when we switch to the first episode of Strange Things, we realized the show is more than about some bunch of school-going kids. It has chaos, drama, friendship, romance, action, and also adventure with science.

Stranger Things is an American science fiction drama television series that was premiered in 2016. It’s been over five years since we all have been part of this exciting, binge-worthy show. The show develops around an imaginary town, Hawkins, set in 1980, where some supernatural events occur, including the appearance of a girl with psychokinetic abilities. A group of friends, which includes Mike, Dustin, and Lucas, accept the girl, Eleven, and give her a place to live.

A lot has happened after that. Eleven saved them several times from the monsters of upside world, she was adopted by Hooper, the police officer, and Mike and Eleven developed a romantic relationship.

In season 3, after a lot of shy love, Mike and Eleven finally become official. However, they also break up. Later, Mike whined in front of his friends about missing his girlfriend. Eventually, the two reunited at the end of season 3.

From the trailer of season 4, we can take a hint that Mike and Eleven are trying a long-distance relationship. Even though they live a hundred miles away from each other, Mike goes all the way to California to meet his girlfriend, Eleven.
