Yes!! Like, okay I can understand season 1 and to be fair to Karen, she did TRY. But the rest of it.... like Barb gets exposed to dangerous chemicals and dies and Will is clearly going through whatever happened and Mike is clearly depressed and grieving and they're disappearing all the time and nobody even questions why they all seem a little too friendly with the police chief? Heaps of people died in a mall fire and these kids are still allowed to just.... disappear? Mike suddenly has a girlfriend that can't speak English very well and is living with Hopper and neither Karen or Ted think she looks suspiciously like the bald dangerous girl the GOVERNMENT was warning them about just a year before?
I mean... you're telling me that none of these parents have talked to the others and it's come out that "no, they weren't at my house that night?" Come on!
