you're in the minority, most people found S4 fire out the gate. and nobody is still excited by demogoron attacks...that's not what we're looking for to be entertained, it's storylines and action re vecna. i know you just binged the whole series for the first time, but those of us who been watching since 2016 are looking for tight writing that advances the final boss plot - not more mini crews meandering
:what:

Well, for season 5, you're in the minority.

Reactions online and ratings have really liked season 5 so far. Season 5, Episode 4 is the highest rating episode of the entire show on IMDb.
i have literally called that out as the best thing of this season, and i'm sure that alone is doing some heavy retcon lifting, because as i was watching, episodes 1 & 2 were bland as white rice. episode 4 was a huge payoff for trudging thru the first half

Episodes 1-3 got good ratings on IMDb as well.

These 4 eps didn't hit like that and it's not because of impatience or any of that other shyt.

Honestly it was just repetitive. I think after season 4, and this being the end, they felt like each episode had to be over an hour but really these last 4 episodes don't really justify it so there's some dead air. It's not terrible it's just a little too drawn out

I also think the dip in quality is a testament to how good season 4 is. That season had no business being as good as it was from start to finish:wow:

That's a fair assessment, especially when the cast members themselves have said some of these characters should be dead:mjlol:

Sadie Sink saw that Max wasn't really dying and told the writers :dahell: so I'm dying but I'm not? Why?

I made it through episode 4 and it didn't get any better for me lol.

One of these kids acting is not nearly as good as the others and I'll just leave it at that.
