There are so many beloved characters in Stranger Things, but also a handful of villains. Here are the characters viewers dislike the most.

Stranger Things is one of the best shows currently on and is definitely my favorite Netflix show ever. The sci-fi phenomenon debuted back in 2016 and became an instant success, with viewers becoming obsessed with the 1980s vibe the show created. Throughout the four seasons, each storyline has become more intense as the characters grow older and face bigger threats. The first season introduces us to Eleven, one of my favorite fictional characters ever, a lost young girl without a name or a home.

As Mike, Dustin, and Lucas get to know Eleven while trying to find their friend Will who disappeared, they discover she’s more special than they could have ever imagined. And her powers help them find Will.

Part of the reason people love Stranger Things so much is the amazing characters we meet each season, and season 4 is no exception. When the season dropped last summer, fans fell in love with the likes of Eddie Munson and Argyle, two new characters who join the friend group. It’s impossible not to root for the main characters of the Netflix series, though there are a handful of villains who viewers absolutely cannot stand.

As much as the heroes in the story are so fantastic and inspirational, the villains can be so evil. We’re breaking down the 18 most disliked characters and creatures in Stranger Things, ranking them from least bad to absolutely terrible. And surprisingly, we’ll be starting off the least with a central character that many fans find annoying.
