What do you think? Do you enjoy the Stranger Things TV show on Netflix? Are you glad that it’s been renewed for a fourth season? Should there be a fifth season or, should season four be the end?
Season 1 was excellent.
Season 2 started well but descended into something of a farce.
I’ve stayed watching season 3 yet as the end of 2 didn’t give me impetus to make it a must watch.
The audience for this show seems somewhat divided, with a lot of people wanting it to end already, while others still want it to continue. Personally I think it should end in Season 4 before the kids grow up too much, but I’m keen to see other projects from The Duffer Bros
Hope there’s a fifth season ❤
Even though some people find this show to be a repeat, i actually love this show i was hooked with the first few episodes, this show is way better then most shows on regular tv and i like the fact the its based on the 80s films and even if the duffer brothers end it at season 4 i really hope that they make more goood tv series because i will surely be there to watch it and i can’t wait to see what the future holds for the duffer brothers! I think this is one of my top favorite… Read more »
Hope to be the last, it is a repeated show now.
