Interesting, everyone I've heard talk about it who has seen it says it was god awful and an insult to the original premise.

People never cease to amaze me how they'll happy absorb whatever corporations give to them

This is the Television community, it's literally all corporate schlop we are happily absorbing. Just like anything else that transcends into monoculture, people will hate on Stranger Things to make themselves feel superior to everyone else.

Sure maybe the forumula is played out and it's not as good as it used to be but it's at least a decent watch, and people want to see how the story ends. It's not "god awful".

People have just been ready to hate on it. Some of the dialogues are a little cringe, but the story and cinematography makes it worth it anyway.

If you want great TV - watch Pluribus. If you want some easy entertainment - watch Stranger Things.

for me it was the acting + writing.

Lots of expositional monologues delivered in a pushed, stressed, cadence.

Everyone you know is full of shit. This season has been a blast.
