Mind Flayer was a total can

My thoughts exactly. This was the world-ending threat? It got it's shit pushed in by a bunch of teenagers. With fucking spears and a flare gun. Only Nancy had serious firepower.

Do we know where El ended up? For some reason I thought of Iceland when I saw the three waterfalls.

It wasn't perfect by any means. Some of the scenes felt like filler in an already bloated run time. Vecna and the Mind Flayer went out like Cans. And the world-building stumbled a bit; at some points it became difficult to know, or even care, exactly where the characters are. The Upside Down and the Abyss aren't fully explained. The audience is expected to just go with it.

On the plus side, all the cast gave their best performances of the show. There are some genuinely moving scenes, and a real sense of closure by the time the final credits roll. Hopper and Joyce moving to Montauk was a nice shout out; that was the original name for the show the Duffers came up with.

Not great, but orders of magnitude better than the abortion that was Game of Thrones final season.

7.5/10

First 2 seasons were greatness

2rd was meh at best

4th - pretty meh but for me the whole Master of Puppets bit saved it some.

5th - started good first 4 eps. Middle 3 - went nowhere really and tbe finale seemed they wanted to just make sure they tied it up - better than 3 but barely

Season 5 was a mirror of season 2 Arcane it started good tben got progressively worse an worse till I struggled to finish it.

First 2 seasons were great i

I know this show requires a suspension of disbelief, but I hated what happened at the end with the military storyline.

The team kills dozens of soldiers and thwarts a major military operation, but they are free to go to resume their regular life?

Makes no sense.
