Stranger Things very famously had that one episode in season 2 where Eleven travels and joins another group of teenagers with superpowers - it was an extremely unsubtle attempt at greenlighting a spinoff that never happened.
After that episode this was never mentioned or brought up ever again.
I’ve been rewatching Stranger Things with my girlfriend who hasn’t seen the show. When we got to that episode she was so confused and calling out how much she hated some of the newly introduced characters.
She was so relieved when I said not to worry, we’ll never see them again.
The creators wanted session 2 to be a different cast and setting. A bunch of grad students that discovered the upside down. Netflix said no keep the kids they are popular.
So they used the original session 2 ideas for that episode.
I mean the series did peak in season 1, but season 2 is the worst one by far. If you do pick it up again you’ll probably have a better time once you get through the bad parts.

That was the worst part of the show to date.

I literally stopped watching because of that episode. It was so absolutely god awful. Maybe I should pick it up again, but eh.
