Stranger Things is a fantastical show. Its supernatural elements make it a true science-fiction escapist adventure. But one of the least believable elements of the show is how oblivious the parents are to all the trials and tribulations their children experience. Sure, the Sinclairs, the Wheelers, and Mrs. Henderson worry about their kids. But Stranger Things is set in the 1980s, when your kids disappearing with no contact until dinnertime was the norm.
