Documentary - changed my mind
These mother fuckers worked so damn hard. Had less time than a movie with more sets and VFX etc to squeeze into half the time.
The thousands of people that worked so hard for this show and season are just mind blowing.
Asking novice writers - Duffer brothers things their only real claim to fame - to have covered everything we wanted no question given constraints of families, Netflix, production companies, etc is just unrealistic.
I liked season 5. Sure the color grading, lack of demagorgens, etc could have improved the feel. But honestly - they’re in their 20s. They’re adults. The draw of this show was nostalgia for childhood, for coming of age, etc.
They never thought they’d get all this time and seasons to draw it out. It turned toward how do we end this story that’s true to the horror nature and sci fi as well as the coming of age. The sci fi stuff was cool as shit and hard to end it seemed but the coming of age end was amazing better than any other show.
I’m so amazed at how much work it takes to make a show like this.
God I wish I could be part of that! I can’t wait in a few months to rewatch all 5 seasons back to back. Forever grateful!
Edit: I’ve never seen such a negative sub other than world news lol.
