I loved season one of Stranger Things. It was The X Files meets American Horror Story meets an 80s teen drama, and it worked beautifully.

Through the seasons the story just gets played out over and over again with different characters and different monsters, always ending on a happy note before throwing out a massive cliffhanger to loop you into the next season.

Season four has by far been the worst. With episodes being up to two and a half hours long, and every character needing to provide some long winded unnecessary monologue. It seemed to be drawn out for much longer than it needed to. I can't say this season was anything more than a fan service.
