This season has genuinely been the worst season. No?

Discussion

(This is my opinion feel free to disagree but I'm not gonna argue with you)

Personally I think before season 5 came out I feel like the best seasons in this order are season 1, season 4, season 3, season 2 (best to worst) and I feel like the majority of most of us thought that to. And now season 5 has came out I feel it is at the very bottom of that list.

Why I think this: (reasons)

It's poorly written, because most of this season has been everyone (characters) discussing, planning, doing said plan, failing said plan then go right back to the start becoming a cycle. And for a start there is not nearly enough episodes I feel the duffer brothers at least needed 12 episodes to cover what we need to know. I feel we needed at least just one episode on just Henry/vecna/one not to mention just one on eleven/Jane and I think maybe an episode on all the main 4 kids mike,dustin,will and Lucas. Most of this season has been as I said a cycle and holly and max and the only good parts have been with holly and max. Idk what else to say in this reason but there's definitely more I'd like to say.

The acting is terrible, Millie and Noah are definitely the worst especially in this season and i think it came with age, and this really isn't good enough when their the main characters of the entire show. Finn, Caleb, Geaten do not nearly have enough screen time to tell you anything about there acting. As usual the only acting that has been good is from the older actors some might say experience and yes you would be right but a few of them have only really worked on this show the few exceptions being Sadie which since she was added to the main cast has been great. Holly's actor and Derek's actor and Erica's actor(which doesn't even have that much screen time at all) (couldn't be bothered to search up their real names)

To many mistakes, if you just search up on YouTube stranger things season 5 mistake you'll find loads.

No explanations, which probably will happen in the last episode but theres to much stuff to answer and I don't think they can do it in the 2 hour episode
