A missing boy draws a small Indiana town into a struggle with secret experiments and a terrifying parallel world. Among the teenagers pulled into the danger is Robin Buckley, whose quick wit conceals the difficulty of being a lesbian in 1980s Hawkins. Her coming-out story begins in season three, while her attraction to fellow band member Vickie develops in seasons four and five. Their relationship sits inside a much larger supernatural ensemble. Viewers looking for the sapphic story should begin with Robin’s seasons rather than expect it throughout the show’s entire run.
