I was a huge fan and couldn't wait for Season 3. I had to force myself to watch the rest, after Episode one. I felt like I was watching a terribly written and performed horror movie, which is not what the first two seasons were. There were constant, and I mean constant, fighting and insults between even the adult characters. These people are supposed to care about each other?? Naturally, there had to be a nod to LGBT, but in middle America in the 80s? Wouldn't have happened in reality. In conclusion, this season is not an embarrassment to the Duffer Brothers, but is instead a humiliation for them. Frankly, I don't plan on watching Season 4, if there is one. They would've had a classic on their hands had they stopped after Season 2. If you want to see what Stranger Things could have been - watch "Dark."
