Let's keep it real shall we? There's no way on earth the Duffer brothers were prepared to continue past ONE season. There was NO set up, whatsoever.

Since Season One we've been blindly clawing away for an intelligent story to sink into, but instead have gotten stolen characters and narratives from hit 80s films and pop culture.

Where's the actual substance? You can only impress for so long with cheap, greasy special effects and Kate Bush riffs. The story is nonsensical, even by sci-fi standards.

The elementary dialogue was never-ending; exposition galore. Bloated episodes, a multitude of strange departures of cinematography and tone from what was set in Season One, and less believable acting then seen in previous seasons.

Anyone who thinks this is a masterpiece has a very limited understanding of filmmaking and writing.

I know how terribly difficult it is to accomplish shooting anything, let alone 10 over and hour long episodes. But for almost $300M- it's baffling!!
