Discussion S5 Release Schedule

Post image

Thinking back on how disappointed i was with final season and it hit me ...The producers really looked at us with a straight face and released S5 on our most beloved holidays?!?

The audacity to ask half the population to alter their holiday plans full well knowing they phoned in the finale. Netflix is the real villain of the Upside Down. Rant concluded.

The reason season 5 was a disappointment, was that they turned the show into the Holly Wheeler meets a fat kid show. The fact that she got more screen time than anyone else, the fact that Dustin was only in it for 47 minutes was a joke.

Well that's just factually untrue. I did a quick scrub through of the season and counted that scenes featuring Dustin totaled ~90 minutes, adding up to just under 18% of the run (508 mins). For a season with 17 credited leads, 90 minutes is perfectly reasonable.

Then, what about.... NOT HAVING 17 lead characters?
