I agree… and the fact they are actually ending it here is a success when considering Murican IPs only die when they are hated by everyone (looking at you 11 seasons of The Walking Dead, with only 2 worth of content)
Yes, ideally it would have been 5 seasons in 5 years and call it a day, but I have found a lot of entertainment in the show story and style
Guess it was a poor attempt at saying popularity and quality don’t always align, which is also why stuff like reality TV shows had higher ratings than what are considered critically acclaimed shows. Or why some people prefer watching streamers influencers than tv shows and movies, so viewership and correlation with quality don’t always match up. Logan Paul fights being huge viewership draws is an example.
Viewership is a metric that matters more to corporations after money than audiences who get satisfaction from whether they enjoyed the product than how many other people also enjoyed it. Which is why some things that were financial failures are still beloved by small group of fans that it resonated with it.
I do find though that TV shows seem really hard to figure out if it is good or not based on number values compared to movies. Have had to rely more on changing sentiment of viewers either bringing up how quality that initially drew them has stayed consistent or gotten worse by the season. Sometimes momentum keeps up just because of prior investment and wanting to see the end even if it got worse.
I didn’t make the initial comment. More made a guess as to what the previous person was trying to convey.
I watched until season 4, but felt like the quality has fallen though it did pick back up with Eddie who was a very memorable addition.
Did check out fans to see what people have been thinking about Season 5, and I’m not sure if I’ll return to finish the final season out since doesn’t seem fan reception has been great. Might end up joining the pile of shows like The Boys I dropped after Season 3. Gotten tired of the whole higher stakes than before but returning with more plot armor both shows trended towards.
Unironically, children. Stranger Things has been in production for ten years, the kids that were too young to watch when season 1 came out grew up hearing about it and then finally being able to watch it. If you see any of the ST communities online, it’s a huge mix of age groups, and I think the writers have had to dumb some stuff down for a younger, more casual, less 80s pop-culture attuned and nerdy audience.
Also, I wouldn’t say every season is awesome. S5 especially is very much suffering from 2nd screen writing issues that most Netflix shows have, but isn’t apparent in S1 and S2.

And yet every season is awesome. Has more viewers each season, have rave reviews etch season… how exactly is it a casualty?

There’s no need to be rude.
I’m sorry please forgive me.
To further add to your bungling, Stranger Things has had high quality every season.

Well I do say every season is awesome.
That’s fine, I just disagree.
That’s why opinions are like assholes, we all have one lol
And all of them stink.
With that said, why are you watching the show?
It is in its fifth season it is what it is.
Something doesn’t have to peak media for me to like it, I am able to to critique things I enjoy.
