We watched the torturous last episode of season 4 of Stranger Things last night which left me asking a number of questions. Like, “Why the hell did I put myself through watching several overly long episodes bulked out with so. much. filler?”

And … “Do I really want to watch season 5 based on my viewing experience of season 4?”

And … the answer is, no, maybe, I don’t know. Honestly. I might leave watching it till sometime in January, at least till all the episodes have aired and all the hype is over with.

As for what I thought of season 4? It wasn’t my favourite for a number of reasons (seasons 1 and 2 were the best). The humour was thin on the ground this time around, wedged in between lengthy and very boring monologues. And then what felt like tedious schlock action pieces.

Oh, and don’t get me started on the monster being a dude in a really bad rubber suit.

I mean, really? Sigh, I wanted so much more.
