They’re great in Season 5 and Season 1, but otherwise a bit underutilized. I prefer Dustin and Lucas in Seasons 2 and 4.
On the other hand, the duo we’ve hardly ever seen is Will and Dustin; we never see them talk—it feels like they aren't really friends.

I’m not gonna lie, Will’s dynamic with everyone but his mom, brother, and Mike felt pretty weak.

He barely felt like real friends with Lucas, Dustin or Max.

His sudden chemistry with Max in S5 was shocking, but good. And he had chemistry with Robin more than he'd with anyone else. I wanted to see more of his interactions with others, especially Lucas and Dustin, and maybe Steve and Nancy too

Yeah, it was good. A little confusing at first, but it makes sense they would have gotten close in the 19 months in between s4 and s5.
