The teenagers are the biggest drag to this show, even in the first season they're virtually completely useless (the entire narrative was to build up to them fighting the monster.. only for it to just run away at the end so that it can have a real fight with Eleven which makes the teenager's fight inconsequential at the end) and in this season it feels like they're getting even more screen time. Steve is their only saving grace, but even then that character is only really fun/useful when he's with the kids, outside of the stupid teenager drama subplot which proves my point.
I can sort of appreciate the less focus on Mike and Eleven but did we really need more useless/annoying Nancy? The whole scene where they go to the conspiracy nut and he literally gets underage teenagers drunk and then proceeds to encourage them to have sex in his den was pretty cringe worthy by itself, but add on the fact that no one should actually care about Nancy or Jonathan (especially when Nancy is kind of a horrible person).. ugh.
EDIT: also appreciated the Grant Morrison reference in Episode 7
