The First Four Episodes of Stranger Things Season 5 (No Spoilers)

I’ll start by saying this post contains no spoilers other than to tell you that in each of the first 4 episodes of season 5 there is soooo much talking. It’s like a movie where the only way they can explain the plot is for two characters to go on and on in a dialogue about what happened, what’s happening, or what will happen. The disappointing thing is that Stranger Things doesn’t need to have pages and pages of dialogue. The plot is pretty simple, right? Find Vecna. Kill Vecna. Am I missing something?

Without a doubt, the best character is Steve. Second place is a tie between Dustin and Murray. At the very bottom of the list, and a little annoying if I’m being honest are Will and Robin. I suppose I can’t support any of these claims because then I’d have some spoilers for you.

Overall though, the real stars are the graphic artists. The world they’ve created with the upside down is nothing short of incredible. From the ideas to the artists creating these animations, it’s very, very good. I’d probably appreciate them even more if I wasn’t fast-forwarding through the episodes because of… all the ….talking. 🥴
