Way too little deaths. Pathetic. In these last 4 episodes half of the cast shouldve died.

I had a good laugh at them skipping over scenes where they had to lift Derek. Pulling the kids out of their flesh prisons? Yeah Derek is just out. Guess no actor was strong enough to lift the bugger and then they totally skipped over everyone coming back through the rift to the top of the tower. I'd have loved to see them try to get him out without a nice new and deep crater at the base of the tower. Whole final ep was silly as fuck.

Why are you so preoccupied with the show needing to make fun of an overweight child?

So many people are just straight up dickheads in this thread.

Dude I was an overweight child. Easily Derek sized so I know just how funny that shit was.

completely out of left field note, but,
did anyone else think the actor who played young Henry was surprisingly good?

child actors are very often absolutely awful, and at best decent. but he absolutely nailed the very breif scenes he was in imo.
which stood out to me.

It is interesting how polarizing this show is on gaf. We actually went to the theater to see the final episode, it turned out to be a really cool way to spend the early part of New Year's Eve. Theater was completely packed, which was fun, and I'm old enough that I spent half the night glowing about the incredible parking spot I squeezed into just before walking in.

ST was fun, like many I really enjoyed the first season, somehow I was completely disinterested and just skipped S2. Tuned back in for S3 because I was bored & was pleasantly surprised, low expectations for S4 but got pulled in right away between the Nightmare on Elm Street meets Akira vibes (seriously, they handled all that stuff so well!) Although the second half of S2 felt excessive/cheap.

Final season was not half as good as S4, which I guess would be a tall order, but they did a satisfying enough wrap-up. I would have been much happier if they shaved off the last, oh, 45 minutes, but I guess they know what modern audiences want and this must reflect that.

I think the show would have benefited from a few less characters (tighten things up/less dilution) and the way they actually handled the ending of Vecna felt a bit over the top like a video gamer from 20 years ago designed it, but whatever, it was an ending!

I thought Hopp would have gone on a rant about how Kali killed Eleven

He's keeping that information well bottled up.

You'll be ecstatic to know that I really enjoyed the series and I felt waves of melancholy after the finale. Roll on the obscenely expensive 4k UHD steelbook collection.

Did you feel seen and heard?

I don't understand the need of people dying for a show to make sense. This ain't Game of Thrones.

These characters managed to have someone like Joyce infiltrating Russia in the 1980's to get Hopper last season and somehow survived (and Hopper...there's no scenario he would still be alive by the end of season 4 lmao) . After that i knew no key character would die tbh.

Performative artist rendition of Netflix shows when they get to the trademark episode and drop their trope on the viewers.

Expected and mediocre/fair ending.

But what's with the whole Nancy Rambo stuff? I mean c'mon.

Just got out of the finale and yeah easily the worst season of the show. The quality of the writing and direction is just not on the same level. I was hoping the finale would at least take a big swing at something but it didn't even try. Even the good potential beats felt way more bland than they would have been in previous seasons. I don't know if it was studio meddling or just burn out from the creatives and actors but the season felt more like an obligation than something anybody was really passionate about.

"Most expensive show in history."

This is originally a 2016 show, 10 years later it's back.

Must watch, nearly perfect and huge payoff.

Vecna has Hawkings, Indiana under control.

The format and the foundation is surrounding the deep cast.

My guess is these sold a lot.

Vecna.

I was hopeful for season 5 and I believe it delivered.

The energy is super natural, the story is a classic and the duffer bros should be proud.
