Man, my wife and I were super into the first season of Stranger Things. The nostalgia factor and old school horror movie feel really came together. But after watching Season 2 it was clear they were just going to keep amping up the action scenes at the expense of the plot and atmosphere. So disappointing.

I caught a glimpse of a recent episode somewhere and it was just dozens monsters running around getting shot at by an army of guns and Eleven doing some overpowered Jean Grey shit. Yawn....

Yeah, sometimes a smaller scope makes stories better. Seen lot of shows where when the stakes are raised and it becomes some galactic level boss type threat it starts feel less tense with how cartoony things start coming off if previously the show felt more grounded with some smaller elements of the supernatural.
