MikeQ Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Agree with the comments here - season 4 is excellent. Epic, but still grounded in the characters. And the new characters they write continue to be compelling. There have been many incredible moments, and there are still 4 hours worth of story left in the final two episodes. I'm psyched. I wish Netflix would learn from releasing this season in two parts - it has allowed the hype to build and speculation to abound about the show, in a way that fosters increased interest and cultural impact. Apparently the only reason for the split was needing more time to finish all of the work on the epic last two episodes - but I think they should strongly consider releasing more of their big shows in parts. They don't have to abandon the binge model completely and release shows weekly - just smaller binges. Peace, Mike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daxtreme Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) So a sort of middle ground between their all-at-once model and like they do on network TV in Korea. A network show can be featured on 2 or 3 days of the week there. So it stays in the conversation more, while also not needing a whole week of wait in-between episodes, which can be enough to kill a show's momentum sometimes. More content in a short amount of time, but the wait makes it so people can still have some time to reflect on it and talk about it. A good middle ground I think.

AniNate Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Don't think it's been talked about here yet but it really is a testament to the popularity of this series that it somehow drove a 30+ year old song to the top of the pop charts again. We really have hit peak nostalgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KateNickolson Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 The fourth season was the most powerful. It is the scariest and most eventful chapter. "Very Stranger Things" is once again bidding to be the top show of the summer. And I'm looking forward to the finale. The season is intense, exciting, funny, and damn scary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) Season 4 has probably been my favorite. Edited June 27, 2022 by Elessar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daxtreme Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 So they have definitely a pacing problem but this whole season was awesome. How they managed to make Max an absolute fan favorite this season is nothing short of amazing. Season 5 please! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EarlyDeadlinePredictions Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Pretty epic finale. Spoiler RIP Eddie. One of the standouts of this season. I wonder if they do a time skip for season 5 (the directors hinted they might) or just continue from where they left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Finale could have been done in about half the time. They stretch things out so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnokesLegs Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Best season by far, it’ll be interesting to see how they top this one in terms of scope for the final season. Also, sorry Jonathan, but I’m Team Steve. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Plotting has always been a mess on this show. They know everyone will binge it so they've never had the discipline to tell their stories episodically - the credits are placed arbitrarily and seasons feel like a giant, unweildly blobs.

JustLurking Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 The finale didn't really live up to expectations but still good I guess. A great season overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Season 4 is epic for sure. Great finish as well. But the episodes were too long. I hope this does not continue for 5th season. Also at the rate at which this kids are growing(most of them are adults or almost there), they better shoot the 5th season very quickly. That said Duffer brothers have done a brilliant job. This series pretty much stands on its own and that is why its way more popular than anything else. I am sure 5th season will shatter all records as well. and then they will create a spin off for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
