If we choose to conflate strange and interesting, sure. I'd still opt in
favour of "Things in increasing order of strangeness".

If we can assume that strange == interesting, then the conclusion is that
all things are strange. So unless we have a baseline for "strangeness", a
more apt name would simply be "Things".
However, if we assume the first thing to be the baseline, then it should
be called "Things in increasing order of Strangeness",

If the non-stranger things become strange, then there is no paradox.
Anyways, from the name ‘Stranger Things’, I assumed a continuum. Even
everyday things can seem odd when you think about them. Then it’s a just a
long line of increasingly stranger things until you finally come to… the
cliff-hanger for the next season.

Paradox of the "first non-interesting number".
If, in a series called Stranger Things, the majority things are strange,
then surely the non-strange things are actually the "Stranger Things"?
In this light, was my post a spoiler, or an epiphany?

Dude, I said no spoilers!
Now when I see something not-strange, I’ll know to expect something
stranger after that.
