I liked it because it did get darker and grittier and things like Dustin 'dating' a Mormon girl and Steve working a dead-end ice-cream job after High School and Mike's mom wanting to cheat on his dad with some sleazy lifeguard really helped the Mind-Flayer slam home to these naive and idealistic children that life is really just an endless series of crushing disappointments one after another no matter how old you get.
