I didn't want to bring it up because of the subject sensitivity but I thought she had severe mental health issues resulting in prescription drug addiction and is dealing with it now better. But, having not seen her in anything since Mr. Deeds in 2002, I just thought her blank wide-eye confused look was less acting for Stranger Things and more like what's going on in her personal life. Also she had those weird reactions during that acceptance speech but I don't really know what it was about.

But yes, I agree, her expression and acting annoyed me on an already annoying plot. I think it would be less annoying if I wasn't so enthralled with the other plots but instead it felt more like back in the day having commercials come on during the best parts while watching a movie (although Brenner betraying but actually no he cares, but actually he is betraying but he cares also got annoying).
