'Saturday Night Live' finally reveals a major mystery from 'Stranger Things'

While it's universally accepted that Netflix's Stranger Things is simply incredible, many noted one incredibly obvious and possibly problematic oversight from the creators.

While the show portrayed a few parents and their concern for their children's whereabouts, it never addresses the parents of Lucas Sinclair, the only black kid on the show.

But a sneak peek from SNL reveals that Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair, played by Kenan Thompson and Leslie Jones, were looking for their son the whole time.
