spoilers ahead as we seem to be fully into that now looking back i think there are a few bits i feel they could of changed to make the season sit better. They need to add mystery and suspense back into the show as this is what made season one such a stand out,
They could of handled the Russian plot with a bit more restraint, say the show starts with a new company using the lab an 80s tech start up that makes computers phones and av equipment. The kids love this company and get computers and tech from them free stuff for their AV club and befriend one of the techs their. The old lab is shown to be sealed off and the tech start up is an open and friendly with lots of people in Hawkins working for them. This is revealed at the end of the series as a front though and the Russians are using the old lab to examine multiple tears that are opening up all over hawkins.
Will could be seen to be struggling to come to terms with his experiences and is shown to be having nightmares that get progressively worse as the season goes on. The group initially believe these visions of people being snatched by the flayer and help him but after multiple false visions and wild goose chases with no evidence of his return Wills visions are put down to PTSD.
Again i didn't mind the body snatching stuff but rather than fully explaining the body snatching with the subtlety of a brick to the head why not add a bit of mystery to it show Max getting on better with Billy but her growing suspicious of his change in personalty, have people go missing and randomly turn up, a renewed friendship with max would have hit harder when billy sacrificed himself at the end.
