People on here keep saying they lost interest because it took so long between seasons, which is fair, but I’m still excited. It’s the final season, and I’m very excited to see how it ends. Season 4 was one of the best seasons, so hopefully, season 5 continues the quality.
I also love how each episode is like a movie now. People complain they are too long, but to me, it’s perfect. It’s really the only show I’m okay with having it like this. It gives them much more time to develop the storylines and characters. I did the math, and if they cut up the episodes into 42-minute episodes, it would be about 18 episodes. Absolutely love how full season 4 was.
Plus, Stranger Things is just a fun show to watch. The vibes, atmosphere, characters, etc., are all just so much fun and addicting. Even the worst season is still a lot of fun (I don’t think any season is bad).
I know this is kind of an unpopular opinion, I think, but I hope nobody in the main cast dies. At this point, I just want them to have a happy ending and finally be free from all the Upside Down nonsense they have been dealing with since they were literal children. (Plus, I think Eleven dying would be so obvious and predictable that I think it will be very lazy; just give my girl Eleven, that has been abused and kidnapped her entire life, a happy ending.)
