'Stranger Things' season 3 will explore more of that 'Dad Steve' magic that fans have loved so far

Steve Harrington came in like the biggest disaster with his shallow personality but he soon went on to become the boy with the biggest heart.
UPDATED FEB 26, 2019

There can be nothing more charming than a man who loves kids, even if they are a bunch of annoying teenagers, and our boy Steve Harrington (played by Joe Keery) is just the perfect fit for the role. 'Stranger Things' brought to us a group of young people who are more lit than the adults around them, and time and again, they don't mind lifting up the baton to fight a few creatures from the Upside Down. Starring Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson), Natalia Dyer (Nancy Wheeler), and Charlie Heaton (Jonathan Byers), these kids are about to venture into some darker corners of the other dimension in season 3, and let's just say Dad Steve is here to help.

Coming from the Duffer Brothers (Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer), 'Stranger Things' might be great when it comes to visualization but the show lacks the depth that should have been developed through its characters. While most characters have basically no progression throughout Season 1 and 2, it is only in Joe Keery's character that we find the story taking a deeper plunge. We were introduced to Steve in Season 1 as Nancy Wheeler's boyfriend who is nothing more than a stereotypical high school jock, and sort of doesn't care about anything, not even his relationship. For almost the entire season, the audience was left under the impression that this boy is going nowhere with his life and certainly doesn't deserve a girl as good as Nancy.
