Overall, I am really liking the new season, but if I had one complaint, it’s that I can’t help but think that it’s plagued by Netflix/Stranger Things 5 writing.

By that I mean, 6+ characters standing in a room either a). Talking about a plan that “just might work” or b). Talking about what just happened 5 minutes prior.

Then, right before shit goes down, one character will pull another one aside for a quick bonding moment.

I’m not saying that the show or season as a whole is bad like ST5 - far from it - that’s just really one of my main complaints from an overall positive experience I’m having so far. Does anyone feel the same?
