And yet every season is awesome. Has more viewers each season, have rave reviews etch season.. how exactly is it a casualty?

Unironically, children. Stranger Things has been in production for ten years, the kids that were too young to watch when season 1 came out grew up hearing about it and then finally being able to watch it. If you see any of the ST communities online, it's a huge mix of age groups, and I think the writers have had to dumb some stuff down for a younger, more casual, less 80s pop-culture attuned and nerdy audience.

Also, I wouldn't say every season is awesome. S5 especially is very much suffering from 2nd screen writing issues that most Netflix shows have, but isn't apparent in S1 and S2.

Well I do say every season is awesome.

That's fine, I just disagree.

That's why opinions are like assholes, we all have one lol

And all of them stink.

With that said, why are you watching the show?

It is in its fifth season it is what it is.

Something doesn't have to peak media for me to like it, I am able to to critique things I enjoy.

I agree... and the fact they are actually ending it here is a success when considering Murican IPs only die when they are hated by everyone (looking at you 11 seasons of The Walking Dead, with only 2 worth of content)

Yes, ideally it would have been 5 seasons in 5 years and call it a day, but I have found a lot of entertainment in the show story and style
