Am I the only one who liked Season 2 more than one?

The second season doesn't have to do as much worldbuilding as the first and this opens the show to greater creative freedom.

Also, seeing the characters work together and use what they learned in S1 is something I find very satisfying.

S2E7 was to Eleven what Degobah was to Luke Skywalker, a new and unique part of the world that is unlike anything else in the series where a beloved character faces a profound test and is full of great character moments.

Eleven and Mike reuniting and the Snowball dance were super heartwarming.

As much as I love season one, everything I like about it was done bigger ***and*** better in season two.
