Maybe I'm not watching the same show as those who are rating this series anything above a 6. I found the plot to be extremely predictable after season 1. It is basically the same plot from season 2 recycled over and over again. Monsters come. Nerds unite. Parents have a side quest. Eleven saves the world.

The acting is pretty bad with the exception of Hopper and Eleven. CAG dominated season 4, and not in a positive way. Pizza dude and Munsen in season 4 are just awful and so cringe worthy. None of the characters remained likable as the seasons trudged on. I found myself caring about them less and less. At least mix it up and have a semi-main character die unexpectedly!

I FORCED myself to finish season 4. By episode 4 in season 4 it was just brutal. Background noise at best.
