Stranger Things Season 3: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best

If we've learned anything from the past two seasons, it's that Dustin has a habit of stealing any scene which he appears in.

With his charming personality and hilariously on-the-money responses, the character has been responsible for restoring some much-needed light-heartedness to the show in even its darkest of moments and, thankfully, he was able to do that again throughout the third season.

Other than the fact that he had a girlfriend (whom he met at summer camp), his storyline didn't progress all that much, but the scenes he shared with Steve, Robin and Erica were among the best of the season. And that isn't just because they were hilarious, as that entire narrative thread centred on a discovery that he made - allowing him to once again do what he does best: Investigate.

No other character could have sung 'The NeverEnding Story' down the walkie-talkies and gotten away with it. Dustin is the exception to that rule - and that is proof of his value to the show.
