Stranger Things: Chapter Six: The Monster (2016)
Season 1, Episode 6
6/10
Weakest episode so far, but still good

Warning: Spoilers
Others have pointed out the coincidence of the bullies running into Mike and Dustin in the canyon, and the uncomfortable fight between Jonathan and Steve. Both bothered me, too contrived and I think the bully story line should have died after the school assembly.

But the thing that bothered me most was "dumbing down" the episode by showing flashbacks of Elle using her powers during the scene in the bedroom of Terry's home. Was there anyone watching this episode that didn't make the connection between Terry's "miscarriage" and Elle? The writers showed a lack of trust in the intelligence of viewers....what's next, voice-over? But even with those three complaints still a high quality, well acted and produced episode, and a necessary exposition episode to set up the final two chapters.
