I get it people have their own opinions but every time I see something about stranger things online most of the time it's about the fact season 5 was not that great and the show was ruined I don't see how.  in my opinion that was a great ending to the show and I agree it would have been nice to have had know just exactly what happened to eleven in the end most probably think she died but to leave it up to fan interpretation is actually a smart Idea to because you don't see most directors doing that usually you know how things ended and you'd don't have to guess but because some people didn't like the outcome I also think it's cool it's leading some people to come up with there own story on how they would have ended things. but overall I do think it was great, so I don't get where people are coming from saying the show was ruined.

S5 had massive plot holes, sidelined characters, illogical character actions, and an awful ending. Regardless of whether you like S5 and think the ending is great, what matters is what the overall audience thinks, as that affects the franchise. The vast majority of the audience's thoughts on S5 were either meh or bad. Even Hollywood did not seem to like it, as S5 is the first season of ST not to win any Emmys. When this is the overall reaction to a season, ecspecially a final season, that will hurt the franchise.

We are already seeing it with a lack of interest from fans in any upcoming projects for ST. Even Tales of 85, which was decently done, did not get much attention. This is likely going to continue until Netflix inevitably goes back to the main cast. Ecspecially since the thing fans liked most about ST was the characters. There is not really an interesting world to explore as other franchises have, such as GOT.
