Did anyone else feel incredibly disconnected from Eleven this season?

I’ve gone in feeling pretty excited for this final season but I’ve found it difficult to immerse myself in the show. I’ve mainly found that I don’t feel properly connected to Eleven, and I guess Hopper too.

I remember in the last seasons I felt genuinely engaged and connected to all the characters and their relationships. They felt real which amplified the show for me. But something just feels so off now which is such a shame :(
