it was interesting for the first season or two then it just felt like a chore to watch.
it was a fun original story though
What on earth… Season four and five were spectacular.
I’ve loved every season too I can’t wait for it
ok yeah… I gave up somewhere around 3 so… might give it another shot
Season 1 was interesting, while Season 2 largely felt like it was treading water and retelling the same story. I don’t blame people for falling off the series around that point - or early into Season 3 if they were binge-watching.
However, Season 3 was inarguably as good as the first (and arguably better) - with Season 4 further improving on that, not only telling its own engrossing story, but also bringing together a lot of past plot-points together and setting up the scenario for the final season.
If you’re game to give the show another try before the release of the first wave of S5 episodes next month - I’d recommend just reading a synopsis (or YT video) of seasons 1&2, and just jumping straight into Season 3.
There aren’t all that many episodes, so you could easily pace yourself with one episode every day or two to not feel burned out, while still catching up.
“I think everyone knows there’s not enough original stuff out there right now. Everything is so IP-driven,” Ross says.
I am so glad to hear that the Duffers feel that way. I’m so tired of remakes, reboots, and endless sequels trying to squeeze every last penny out of every piece of IP.
I guess that’s why the Duffers pivoted to making sequel seasons of ST with the original cast… instead of doing an anthology as planned. Right? So original to keep milking that first season for nine more years!
Man… I will miss it when it ends.
