Stranger Things may already be a hit for Netflix but they have struck gold with new character Robin for the third season.
An alternative girl who is not all she appears becomes a friend of Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) as they work together in the ice cream parlour Scoops Ahoy at the new Starcourt Mall.
However, like the other kids, Robin soon comes into danger from the evils of the Upside Down and must team up with Steve and Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo) to help save the day.
