Pretty good show. There are good things and bad things. Season 1 and 2 were really good. The suspense, the thrill was awesome. Season 3 went in a totally different direction from where the season 1 and 2 went. Season 4 too was good.

Here are the good things, Acting: is just brilliant. Everyone gave their best. 11/10. Winona Ryder played so so sOOOOO damn well in season 1, my gawwwd! And everyone else too did absolutely amazing. I didn't expect the kids to act so well. Amazing job. Music & Sound: Awesome. Really liked the synth music for this show. Makes kinda sense cuz 80s were the times where the synthesizers were booming. Very less orchestral part was used. Sound design was pretty nice. Those crunchy vines, Vecna's murders those were all really good. Cinematography, VFX and all: Yep, they nailed the 80s look. VFX was good but some parts felt too soft and unrealistic, but no problemo. Color Grading was also classic.

Bad things, Writing: Terrible. Character development? Gone. Plot Consistency? No no. Dialogues? Nah. Why does Dustin swear so much?? Unnecessary vulgarity. Hopper was lazily written. Mike started so well in season 1 but he became so dry by season 4. Season 4 had too many plots continuously going on. Not quite tied properly. Some scenes were well written others were not properly written. In season 4 especially, when 4-5 plots were going on at the same time. A scene felt good but the very next scene felt bad. As I said, not tied properly. They left too much for audience to assume. When you really think about it, you'll start getting a lot of questions. Lot of plot holes.
