Stranger Things had a great debut with a really engaging plot of government cover up around psychic powers that led to an alternative universe opening up in a small Indiana town. The plot and acting were all great, making for binge worthy viewing. There are quibbles, yet all were minor in an overall outstanding season.

Then came Season 2. While still above average with some good fleshing out of old characters and plot lines as well as with some excellent new additions, the story just had that nagging feel of a re-tread being amped up to keep us watching.

For me Season 2 will be a wrap as it nicely closed out there. Season 3 and out just seem to be getting made for the sake of the franchise and not for good story telling. And that's the problem with so many series and movie franchises these days.
