4 episodes dragged a lot and kinda boring for being the "epic final season".
feels like a retreat of older plots being reused,
there's a couple plot points that feel recycled from earlier seasons,
I just, I hope it's gonna get better. is not that I'm expecting explosions and action In every episode, but it's just dragging.

Last season should've been the last. They're spinning their wheels at this point. Everyone on screen is clearly over it.

I have some criticisms here and there, but I've been enjoying the season so far overall. At a minimum, I do feel it is stronger than the second and third seasons of the show.

I enjoy, these characters, I really enjoy these actors,
I love their chemistry and their dynamic. I always have and will love watching all of them, I love their bond, their teamwork but :

yeah maybe the villain should have been defeated right then and there in. season 4. it was the perfect set up and everything.

this new season has enough of the stuff I love with the characters, it's enjoyable to see them, I'm interested in where it goes,
but it needed a new different plot. or a different "problem"

the military being evil again and vecna taking kids feels like season 1 all over.
Eleven training and the group investigating the upside down world just feels like a retreat

the Only interesting stuff this time is Max and Holly being trapped.
and Will getting powers, that's all I'm interested in following for this season, will using powers was amazing

I’m halfway through the third episode and it’s a parody of itself in every way.

Seriously, “Stranger Sings” is more serious than this season.

It feels to me like they wanted to return to a smaller-scale story (ironic since there's more going on than ever), but couldn't find a way to do so without abandoning the cliffhanger from last season. I would've much preferred a smaller/non-existent time-jump that actually dealt in the apocalyptic ending of S4- they gloss over it with a few lines and the only impact it's had so far is the military presence. I'm hoping it pulls itself together over the following episodes and picks up the pace, because nothing so far has felt as epic or thrilling or conclusive as any final season should be, especially one of the most expensive and highly anticipated ones ever.

I didn't really had any hopes for season 5, I didn't follow any speculation or spoilers, I only heard from them that it was gonna have the "feel and dynamics" of season 1 I think?
you are right about returning to a smaller scale.

but the full group hasn't really been together except episode 4, I really don't like how they wrote Dustin.

and I hate what they did with the military. I thought we were past that.

Finished it. I’ll watch the second part because I’m a completionist but not because I think it’s good. Because it’s not. Nearly every major twist or reveal is easily anticipated (including the final one… which I called an episode in advance). All the group dynamics are now, basically, insufferable instead of charming and the writing is basic, Mike Flanigan-style monologuing. I’ll accept the dictum to divide this season into two halves, but refusing to edit the individual episodes into something other than movie-length montage of screaming, hard stares, and desperate “see, it’s the 80s” references is the worse sin.

To be fair, with at least one of the twists,
it doesn't help that Linnea Berthelsen was literally at the red carpet premiere lol

I don’t care about the show so much as to know who was doing media for it. I had honestly forgotten about the character until Eleven described whatever was behind the door as “Kryptonite,” at which point I said, “Oh, it’s Eight.” Because that was the only reveal that would make sense.
