Jonathan Is a Full-On Stoner Now?
Hoo-boy… seeing Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) go full burnout—unless his girlfriend is there to give him purpose—is a choice, but it’s also way too abrupt. In California, he lets Will and Eleven mostly fend for themselves while he gets high with his friend Argyle (Eduardo Franco). And his long-distance relationship with Nancy gets neglected as he puts off applying to the same school she plans to attend in an act of self-sabotage. He’s just a mess, which is so different from his role in earlier seasons. Now, if this is to make Nancy endgame with Steve, we’ll accept it. But it’s a bit unbelievable to have him abandon his responsibility for Will and Eleven.
