Stranger Things has a place in my heart, but it isn’t without its faults. Season 3 is my favorite of them all and season 4 is big oof. SO MUCH of season 4 is incredible…Eddy, Steve & Dusty, Vecna, communicating through the lights again, the brutal way Vecna takes his victims, the Max storyline (had me in TEARS). But there’s so much it gets wrong too…I feel they did Will’s character a total disservice, they made him act in ways that I didn’t feel were authentic at all (like how he just watches El being bullied?) no way. I hated Mike & Eleven & Will whatever was going on. It was way too dramatic, like being hit over the head, Mike also felt wrong to me, he always watched out for Will and now he’s what just completely tone deaf? I guess. I also could not stand the amount of emphasis placed on Eleven. I like Eleven, I don’t love her. I watch Stranger Things for almost every single character other than Eleven. Please tell me I’m not alone? I literally have to fast forward through the scenes of her and “papa” ugh I hate that too. Way too long of a season, way too many scenes of Eleven breathing heavily and staring and crying that’s all she does it’s beyond annoying. Visually the show is amazing duh. I loved the groupings this season of who was working together. Oh and I also loved the whole Hopper Russia Joyce Murray story! Was super entertaining. I anxiously await season 5 but, as I’m sure everyone else does, I feel nervous about how they are going to pull it off with so much time having gone by and the kids no longer being kids. I think its charm decreases the longer it goes on. All that being said, I’m about to throw on Season 1 Ep 1 for the 5th time 😂
