He's going to have to do commercials for Israel the rest of his life after the largest blunder of a final seasons since GoT S8.

I don't think he faced any real consequences for promoting Zionism. The media is currently promoting him as an LGBT icon for doing a 'coming out' speech in the new season of Stranger Things that was released on Christmas. His character came out as gay and also he's gay in real life.

I stopped at season 4 and dont care to devote 90 minutes an episode in this new season, have moved on. Curious tho, whats so bad about it?

It's the exact same stuff from every other season but done worse. More retconning. Just about ever episode is characters coming up with a plan, arguing with each other about the plan, doing stupid analogies, then only spending 5 mins executing the plan. That only leads to needing another plan. Too many characters. Now there are more people holding up their hands and screaming in slow motion. They ran out of music licensing money because they are fucking beating Running Up That Hill into the ground. Some of the actors are clearly phoning it in and tired of doing the show. A lot of nonsensical plot points and weird character moments.
