“Noah Schnapp is basically playing the classic possessed-child role, which requires him to succumb to convulsive fits, display genuine fear, and exhibit the steely blankness of a diabolical monster, sometimes all within the same scene. If he’s anything less than convincing at any point, it could poke a hole in the narrative, leading all the tension and emotional air to leak right out. But thankfully Schnapp, who turned 13 earlier this month, more than pulls it off. He’s deeply dialed into each moment, and he’s simply terrific throughout the season. You can’t care about this show without caring about Will – and you can’t care about Will if Schnapp doesn’t make you care so much.” - Noah Schnapp is the MVP of Stranger Things 2
