More Detail:
“Chapter Five: The Flayer” of STRANGER THINGS is an action-packed episode. It starts to increase the viewer’s understanding of all the different plot strands going on in Season 3. The episode has a light Christian worldview with strong moral, patriotic, anti-communist, and pro-capitalist elements. Thankfully, this episode lacks sex and nudity, but it makes up for that lack with some extreme violence, lots of foul language, and a strong amount of other objectionable elements.
