Damn it's been soo long I only remember that season one was good, season two was something about Ghostbusters costumes and hipster kids in the city and season three was a mall with neverending story cringe scene.

 

[GymWolf]

I gave up after the trashy season 2.

 

[roosnam1980]

more nose bleed

 

[MGHA]

Shows needs 1 to 2 seasons tops. After that it becomes a chore to watch. See, it's like poetry. It rhymes. Must be true.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Big show, people thew a parade for the first 2 seasons.

 

[Raven117]

I mean...lets see where they end with it.

Season 1 is truly great. The rest...meh.

 

[Shadowplay1979]

All 3 seasons were great because the characters are great. This is one of those shows people love to hate after season 1 because it wasnt season 1

[chromhound]

i stopped watching after the first season lol

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

the show isn't nearly good enough to have people wait 3 years in between seasons

I've pretty much stopped caring, don't remember most of what happened in the first seasons, and have no desire to rewatch them.

 

[bitbydeath]

I enjoyed season 2, that was the season Sean Astin played Bob, and the story directly followed the events of the first.

They did have that one shitty episode that should have been cut with new kids in the city which felt like it had the $5 budget of a Neill Blomkamp movie.

 

[Insane Metal]

Can't wait. Bring it on.

S2 was the weakest to me but still enoyable overall.

 

[Decontamination Silo]

These "kids" must be 27 by now.

 

[Ionian]

Ha, was gonna post I didn't know it was still on as I stopped paying attention after Season 2. Seems like I wasn't the only one.

3 year gap between seasons though? I know pandemic etc. but even then that's a massive break for a show about (then) kids.

 

[Hari Seldon]

I'm pumped but damnit they need to release this shit in October not late spring.

 

[Punished Miku]

5 seasons might be a new record for Netflix.

 

[IntentionalPun]

That was so bad.

I skipped Season 3 because of that episode lol

After season 5, they're planning spin offs so I wouldn't be shocked if one of those shows focuses on the psychic kids.

Not really. I hated season 2 precisely because it was a poor retread of season 1 and a slog to get through.

 

[Ragnarok]

Wtf arent the kids like 30 now? Just put it out of its misery.

 

[MaestroMike]

millie taking a break from her godzilla movies ?? LFG

 

[Erebus]

We're waiting all this time and now they split up the season in 2 parts? Not cool.

 

[Lickety]

The least they could do is release Season 3 on Blu-Ray.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Well I've watched all three seasons a few times now and I absolutely love the series so far.

Bring on the 4th season.

 

[DetectiveBananas]

Anyone know how long they plan on keeping this show going?!…College Years?…Pretend they're still in high school for 2/3 more seasons?

5 Seasons all up.

 

[sol_bad]

I loved the 1st season, thought the second season was average and really enjoyed the 3rd season. I hope the quality stays high and that they can stick the landing. Then a nice Blu ray set please.

 

[Melon Husk]

Stranger Things 4.1

Off to a good start!

Does not feel "tired" at all.

These streaming shows tend to fizzle out after the first 3 episodes so we'll see.

Edit: wrong thread!

 

[jufonuk]

so far season 4 has been as good as season 1.

I liked season 1 and 3, 2 I cannot remember.

a lot of the episodes are feature length this time around. it also moves at a nice pace and it retains the 80's horror vibes.
Eddie is the breakout character for me, then Murray

 

[R6Rider]

That was really good, especially that last episode.

 

[Catphish]

I've seen the first four episodes.

Some things bother me, like another convenient D&D tie in, the oversaturation of the nostalgia element, and Hopper running like a sprint champ on a broken-ass foot, but, so far, it's not bad, and has me less angry than Season 3, which is nice.

We'll see how it goes.

 

[PuppetMaster]

Just finished watching season 4.

Damn I didn't think they could get any more life out of another season. And that first episode had me suspecting they were running out of fresh ideas. And yet somehow, it really came together nicely over the 7 episodes!

These writers really impressed me! I have to hand it to them. I didn't think they could pull it off. What an excellently crafted piece of work!
