First things first...

Be grateful that lore destroyer also known as Season 4 is 4th in the line and not earlier, because the rating of show in total would be extremely low, but I can't scorn and despise the show as whole for brilliant extraordinary 3 seasons, it's the 4th that is outrageously bad, made precious Stranger Things a cheap lazy arse ganja stand up comedy for teens, a literal laughstock plus it takes huge dump on hard work and passion invested into making previous 3 seasons and all the amazing consistent lore that was created.

As extremely disappointed heart broken Stranger Things passionate lover and fan, that literally just canceled netflix after this flask of bile (season 4) and quitted Sranger things at full rage I want to keep it as brief as possible. Though it won't be easy, before lashing on season 4 first i want to type few words of appreciation and gratitude of real ST content brought by hard work explaining why did I become Stranger Things lover at the first place and what made me care for it.

Season 1 - Extraordinary job, horror, thrill, goose bumps, action, character develop, constructive writting and narrative, science fiction, fantasy, interesting story, mystical, best ost you could've ever asked for, perfect pacing, strong emotional impact and believable and natural acting of most important of all = BRILLIANT FLAWLESS 100% ACCURATE CAST THAT MADE IT ALL POSSIBLE that does it's job perfect and invests the viewer 100% in to this amazing world of Stranger Things. This season has it all. You name it.

RATE : 10/10, I cried multiple times at season 1 and I'm proud of it, because that's how I was emotionally invested.

Season 2 - Literally the same as above but even further and stronger with superior emotional impact.

RATE : 11/10, a splendid Masterpiece, yes, 11, it went beyond boundaries and elevated even further beyond on another level everythings best of Season 1 and developed flawlessly all of the characters and naturally pictured the progression of age and highlighted new problems and the ways they were solved. Just brilliant and flawless execution of the season, ideas, story, character develop, everything.

Ps/ I still laugh even now just scrolling through episodes rating and seeing that pathetic rating of the Lost Sister chapter, it makes me laugh out of pity for everyone scorning that episode and lacking braincells to proccess the episode, biggest sin of Duffer Brothers is cracking down and becoming FAN SERVICE in the future and never going back to Kali. Kali is the sister of main heroine and was STUNNING, I was hoping till the very end of season 4 that Kali will actually appear and bring something strong into the stranger things.... but.... I forgot we are living now in the world that fans dictate what should be and what shouldn't in the script, and since Kali was so hated by majority of viewers, they completely ignored her existance and never got back to the best part of season 2 with biggest potential to unfold later on, it's insanely HUGE SHAME that it was ignored because majority of pseudo ST fans asked for it... The character alone and the way she was pictued and brought to life by amazing actress was flawless and could've lifted up ST lore on masterpiece level, especially that she wields half of Vecna's abilities, combined with Elle they would do a fascinating duo combo and it would make plot alone and action much better, but who cares right? Kali's meh? Because some average joes don't process the content? GG GUYS!

Season 3 - here things gets complicated. It's still good old Stranger Things, but.... it starts to abuse too much the comedic relief factor, sometimes the humour takes your breath away and you laugh from the bottom of your lungs till they hurts, while sometimes you scratch your head and just ask - "but why...?" . It can completely kill the mood and strong tense scene that gets you emotionally invested and all of sudden intrusive MOOD SHIFT, cut, comedic relief time, let's laugh because last scene was too stressful, at least that't my explanation for it, I believe that was the intention.

This is my only one big problem with season 3, the mood killer. But it's not as abusive, compulsive, obnoxious and intrusive like in season 4 and it didn't spoil literally every good drama esque emotional scene. So despite season 3 being disliked by majority, in my humble opinion it's still strong great ST quality solid content, it has all that previous seasons had, except unnecessary comedic relief factor mood shifter, 50% less of it would fit perfectly fine, but it was a little too much.

RATE: 8,5/10 in total, very hard decision, if it weren't for the mood killer and 180 degrees turning points of mood shift from tense drama to comedic relief i would give solid 9,5, it's only slightly tiny worse than previous 2 seasons in overall + unnecessary comedic relief factor.

Ps/ Erica rocks!! I wouldn't like to get in fight in real life with that one, BELIEVE THAT!

Finally... SEASON 4.....

Entire season, is one giant FILLER EPISODE, nothing else, it feel's like intro pilot episode 00 to season 5, except it's filler episode, not even legit story progressing and stake setting episode, but a filler, so in short, season 4.... is....

SEASONs 5 PILOT FILLER EPISODE 00, and here we could basically end.

RATE: 2,25/10 .... YES! IT WAS THAT BAD! I can't get any higher because of how tragicly bad this season was written and how lazy executed, I really wanted more, for Max alone, Max, Steve, Nancy, Dustin, Joyce and Murray that are the only cast members that literally carried the weight of this entire season on their shoulders, only they deserve any credits here. Some scenes were oscar worthy masterpieces, mostly Max running up that hill Kate Bush ost blasting and escaping Vecna's nightmare, for that scene alone I didn't give 1/10 because there are some honorable mentions throughout whole season like this, but there is too little of it.... "Dear Billy" reminded me of what ST was all about and gave me hope that now this season will kick in strong as never and bring real ST content and rock like a boss, except it didn't, heh.... how naive, after stunning masterpiece Max running Vecna's nightmare scene we are back exactly where we were, back to boring dull lazy written rehashed terribly re-executed season 1 - take 2....

It had nothing.... nothing.... bad pacing, outrageously bad character develop or actually lack of it, insanely disproportionate time screen for most of characters, it annihilates the lore and creates 99 plotholes and breaks the consistency and ruins entirely presented so far STORY and world of stranger things, the lore. In short, it's nothing but a lore destroyer.

Next, remarkable constant mood killer on the peak of idiocy and nightmarish pacing, you either see Elle or Will or someone else crying and doing nothing, or you witness low tier ganja stand up comedy goofy factor with no one doing anything, one scene everyones crying, another laughing, back and forth, it's all very unnatural, every cry and laugh is forced so badly and changes so rapidly that you're just confused and you stop to care anymore for anything that is happening. It's like Duffer brothers thought, that this season content is so brutal, so strong, so mature, so dramatic and stressful that you need constant break each 5-10 minutes to not get the depression or something, relief time, get some laugh dude, we are preventing the depression.... Even actors don't look believable anymore, Will (played by Noah Shnap) that was nailing every scene he was at in previous 3 seasons, now does nothing, speaks nothing, he's just standing there or sitting there and cry all the time doing lazy short emotional speaches (it's not the actors fault, he had literally nothing to work with, 0) and looking hillariously epic stupid with that dumb over the top exaggerated to absolute maximum moron imbecile haircut that no one would wear in real life in this time of age, they just crossed the line with the haircut, I love Will Byers, but he had nothing to work with here, nothing! In every scene he was 5th wheel of the car, just filling the space in the background, it was heart breaking to even witness it. Mike also looks like last idiot with over the top retarded haircut and his impact was maybe 0,03% superior to Wills... that's ludicrous laughable embarrassment and shame in flames of stupidity.

I couldn't get invested into events of this season, they were terribly lazy written, terribly executed, terribly paced, creating 99 plotholes and spitting into 3 seasons build up so far, and seems that showrunners completely changed their audience from mature viewers to 12 years old kids who just yesterday had some first ganja experience and it's all cool shmacking dude epic coolness being stoned, thumbs up +1 in the eyes of every early teen who yesterday had first contact with ganja, so cool, BRAVO!! This is to what you're reducing the Stranger Things content? Joke, very bad lowest sort joke... It's extremely low and pathetic.

Next, witnessing 11 going half season through endless loops of exact same scene made me green sick, it was extremely dull time waster unnecessary extended to such giant time run. Half of beloved cast had nothing to do in this season including Elle, nothing, they're just there... Hi Elle, nice seeing you speachless and crying 25th scene of single episode how nice tears are passing through your cheeks, ocean of tears and yet emotional investment and stake and impact of the meaningless dull scene is 0/10, absolutely laughable, fake, artificial. I wasn't moved once, not even a little bit and Elle scenes could mount you into wall with her emotional performance in previous seasons.

Last thing, Papa and Hopper... You cannot be freaking serious?! WHAT WAS THAT?! Ain't even commenting on this, laughstock!

Summary: You've ruined everything. You've broken everything. THISH RISHOTTO ISH NOT SHMACKING DUDE!!

2,25/10.
