"Stranger Things" had the potential to be in my top 5 favorite shows, but it's far from it.

Yes, the basic idea is good, the characters are well written, the visuals are very impressive and the cohesion also comes across as authentic, but what bothers me is that it's the same every season.

A mysterious monster appears, which is then "defeated" by a group of children.

Also, the show really brings a new character every season only to have them die at the end, so while they have a dramatic death scene, they definitely don't have to sacrifice a main character for it.

Unfortunately, the whole thing meant that I already knew in the first episode of season 4 who had to believe it in the end.

But I liked season 4 a little better again, because conclusions can finally be drawn about earlier results.
