Great series that, however, gets a bit weaker as you progress. I found the last season a bit disappointing compared to the previous one. I did, however, think the final episode was very strong. A really enjoyable series.

I absolutely love the first two seasons of Stranger Things. Fresh, exciting, and with an atmosphere that's instantly captivating. The nostalgia still feels logical and genuine, a wonderful eighties vibe. The horror relies on suspense rather than spectacle, and the characters, especially the young cast, feel natural and believable. The story had something to lose, and you feel that in almost every episode.

From season three onward, the series unfortunately takes a different path. It feels like everything is running on autopilot. Bigger monsters, longer episodes, and more bombast, but less genuine tension and subtlety. Characters increasingly become caricatures of themselves, and some storylines feel more like filler. Emotion is more often forced through music and drama, rather than earned by the story.

That's not to say the later seasons don't have strong moments; they certainly do. But the whole thing lacks the sharpness and magic of the beginning. Stranger Things gradually transforms from a strong, mysterious series into a recognizable Netflix product that simply needs to be bigger and louder.

In retrospect, this could have been a perfect two-season series. Everything after that has been mediocre, not necessarily bad. And that's a shame, because what made it so special has faded a bit into the background.

The series suffers from the same problem as Star Wars, Harry Potter, Twin Peaks, Lost, and Peaky Blinders. The basics are sound, but throughout the film and series, you get the impression that too little time was spent on the conclusion. Because of its success, the bar is set too high, and the ending feels somewhat rushed. Sometimes it's better to leave the storyline open. Stranger Things has an excellent fourth season, which is apparently unmatched. The storylines surrounding Vectra, Eddie's death, and the use of Running Up That Hill are the goosebump-inducing moments, which the final season doesn't even come close to.
