I just don’t see it as a problem with the show.

It’s not GOT and it’s not trying to be. You don’t have to kill off your main characters.

Overrated.

Great show and enjoyable but very overrated. I’ve watched all 4 seasons and will watch the last.

Not saying you “have to.” I just mean that there is really never any real danger if everybody always comes out the other side fine and dandy. Especially when there have been perfect times for someone to go that would’ve taken the show to another level.

The dangerous situations lose some luster and become less dangerous when nothing ever happens to anybody.

Yes. It’s great.

It’s cheesy 80s nostalgia with some great acting and dialogue and production value. And some parts are so bad it’s good.

It’s a family favorite.

Steve Harrington has one of the best character arcs in cinematic history.

Some of the things i would normally criticize in this show are actually indicative of 80's cheese action/adventure movies so even the bad parts kind of make sense.

Started this a few weeks ago with not very high hopes as I often don’t care for the super hype Netflix fad type shows

I love stranger things. I enjoyed this way more than I ever thought I would . Just started season 4.

Netflix puts out so much content that the shite really does fall to the wayside and the cream rises to the top.

Most hyped Netflix shows are pretty good

Couldn't get through it. Child actors trying to be deep with shitty writing and plot lines. Horrible all around.

Any grown male with positive reviews is looking for the meta vote.

agreed.

They did a shitty job at creating the nostalgia of the 80's. Gangs that hung out like the crew of Stranger Things didn't exist in the 80's. I knew no one like even half of the adult character's. It's like a group of millennials decided to rewrite the 80's on how they felt their childhood was in the 90's but use eighties stuff. Those two decades couldn't be any further apart.

I really wanted to like the show and watched way more than I care to in case they'd right the ship. Nope. They chose woke.
