Stranger things. Season 1 was perfect, 2 & 3 were mid except for the nostalgia factor. I’ll die on this hill.

Stranger Things would have been a perfect anthology show too, while still getting to explore the in universe lore.

Omg, I'm not the only one.

Quick, I know where we can hide. 😭😂

Stranger Things would’ve worked better if they had changed the characters and “big bad” each season and had Matthew Modine’s evil scientist as the running thread through the series.

I stopped at S2, it was too much of a drop for me.

They could’ve even done the IT thing and had them be older, but now they don’t look right for the roles

That last season was about 10 episodes too long as far as what content was actually written.

I wouldn't even say season 1 was perfect, but yes, at least it had a reason to exist. Season 2 was so offensively and aggressively bad I stopped watching.
