The first season was good because it was simple. The seasons that followed keep trying to build upon the first and improve it. It didn't need to be improved upon, it needed to maintain quality. The show's big moments are cool, but overall it seems like the message has gotten lost. Not interested in the new season at all. I'm just burned out on it. I don't hate it, I just don't care what happens next.
They did the same thing with 13 Reasons Why, except that show did not need to continue. The first season fully adapted the book. The next 3 seasons was just escalated trauma porn.
I think it's less that they tried to improve upon season 1 and more like they tried to make it appeal to more people when it suddenly got popular. Season 1 felt very self-contained and genuinely tried to be a horror mystery show, the later seasons seem aimed at teenagers with lots of dumb teenage drama and quirky humor... I remember feeling some tonal whiplash going into season 2 but I guess not that many people noticed at the time.
It would have been so much better if they stuck to an anthology like another user pointed out in the comments. The original characters are mostly insufferable and repetitive…the new ones are really cool but we don’t get to know them properly.
