June 5, 2025Jun 5 9 years to do 5 seasons is nuts, but when each episode is feature length I guess it makes sense. Still undeniable what this show has meant for pop culture over the past decade - will never forget how blown away I was by season 1. The actors, the music, everything.
June 5, 2025Jun 5 Greedy Netflix splitting it upIs it directly after the previous season? Don't know how you'd explain how they look different lolI'll probably just wait until it's all released because it's not a big deal to me

Counter to it is just binge after everything is out. You may have to be careful when on social media as to not spoil yourself thoughIt's not the first time actors in their 20s played kids but when they're in a show like this where you see them over a course of time then you'll see the actors growth spurt despite the character being younger

The last season was mostly filler and dumb anyway.Hollywood used to produce 22-24 episodes of TV every year for 4-5 seasons. Now they need 3-4 years to make a handful of episodes.

I think I'll eventually get to it but, I'm not excited about it at all

Now they're fiming on location like movies and using a ton of movie quality effects.

But they also did dramas, action packed shows like ER, Law & Order and CSI type shows shot many scenes outside on location in busy cities. The X-files managed it in the 90s.These newer shows have less episodes but shows like Breaking Bad and lots of other Netflix shows, HBO with Game of Thrones, etc make stuff and don't wait 3 years between. Especially when you have growing teens, you need to plan better.

December 26, 2025Dec 26 5-7El and her sister look ozempic. Though the actress for El looks like she has lip fillersI would have stacked the chairs on the table in the Nancy and wills brothers melted room lolMakes sense why Henry was scared of the cave but not why he was in the cave to begin with if he lived in the area with the doctors where he was born. I was lost on thatI was about to be upset if the music turned off before Max could escape because they took a long ass moment to have a pep talk while running away from Henry. Fing hell RUN. The openings are there but they’re doing a whole pep talk. If the portals closed while they were running then that’d be their own fault. Though lol at being at the opening and telling her aye you can’t comeI knew she was going to have a mom moment and save them lmaoWill should have told them he’s a spy again. Instead he took that time to come out. They should have had that moment awhile ago and not when they’re trying to make a plan to save holly and the world. I was watching this with family and they’re like he’s going to come out and I’m like naw he’s going to admit to being a spy again. I mean good for him and all but the timing of that was stupid as hell to meA bunch of characters seemed to have made a suicide pact. El and her sister, Dustin and Steve. Plus you know Hopper is going to do some solo stupid crap like he tried before
December 27, 2025Dec 27 I saw a dude on the socials say ST is just 17 people explaining the plot to each other. Never a truer word said. I'd really love to make it to the end but I'm finding myself just playing it in the background while I do something else. It's not even 2nd screen worthy right now, more like 3rd screen.
December 28, 2025Dec 28 Those last couple of episodes were so bad. It’s so disappointing to see that ST is going the same way of so many great great shows.

That’s the most believable part of the show my man. It’s also a call back to Red Dawn. Another great 80s movie.
