    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.
