20. Mayor Kline

There may have been more to Hawkins' new mayor than met the public's collective eyes, but unfortunately, there wasn't anything more to him than what met ours.

A slimy and sleazy politician ripped straight from the slimy, sleazy politician playbook, Mayor Kline was nothing more than a self-absorbed pawn in a much bigger story - a face that the Russians needed in order to make their Upside Down operations and experiments as covert as possible - and after a few episodes, that became abundantly clear.

Cary Elwes was nearly as charismatic as we hoped he would be, but he was limited by the one-dimensional character that had no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
