Gaten Matarazzo suggests they kill off characters

“It might sound messed up but we should kill more people,” Matarazzo said. “This show would be so much better if the stakes were much higher, like at any moment any of these kids can kick it. I feel like we’re all too safe.”

Great idea. Start with Will in first episode. Guy really gets on my nerves.

Better yet, kill him before the season starts and just mention he died.
