Max is head and shoulders above the rest of the kid cast in regard to acting chops. She's got a future. Dustin is pretty good. Eleven is good.

Agreed. Especially Will and Mike being bad. I thought Will was OK in season 2 but last season and this one he’s been pretty bad. Mike has always been the most annoying to me and the weakest actor. Just a huge douche on the show who somehow remains in the friend group despite being stuck up a girl’s arse and not hanging with the boys enough. Seems like a good dude in real life but he’s never really been given anything interesting on the show besides his relationship with El, so maybe it’s not entirely on him.

El and Max are clearly above the rest of the kids with Dustin and Lucas’s sister just a tier below and Lucas a tier below them. Will and Mike aren’t even on the radar.

As the series has gone on, and now that Billy isn’t in the show anymore, it’s clear Steve has passed the other teens as well acting wise, though the drop off isn’t nearly as bad. But I’d say him and Nancy are tops with Eddie and Robin a tier below and Jonathan a tier below them. Sucks that both Byers had strong starts in Stranger Things but both have regressed as actors somehow
