Just like last time I know it all finished airing over Christmas and New Years, but since those are inconvenient times for some, let's discuss the series finale of Stranger Things.

I kinda liked the ending, but unfortunately I was thoroughly bored through most of the season. There are just too many characters, the pace constantly stops to fit in a heart-to-heart that doesn't affect the overall plot at all, and they are all immune to death and any other kind of lasting consequences. So many times I found myself rolling my eyes as the characters stop to have a chat about their feelings in the face of impending doom, but it always turns out great anyway, so I guess they know better than me. I wanted to like it because I really liked season 4, but this felt like a huge step down. There are so many plot holes and inconsistencies, which may not break the show, but it's weird how it seems like the writers haven't watched their own show sometimes. It's not the worst thing ever though, there are some good moments here and there, and I'm happy it got an at least decent ending.
