      People will disagree but for me no other seasons have reached the heights of the first one. The others are fun to watch but the mystery of season 1 is great and this feeling never returns to the show.

        I feel that way too. The show continues to be good but the first season has its own magic.

        because the plot is the same every season. no new mysteries are really unvealed or anything. it’s just yet another monster in the upside down.

        i wish they had done more with the soviet stuff

      I’ve enjoyed them all. To be fair though, I grew up in the '80s so I’m sure the series hits me differently than it does those who grew up in the '90s and '00s.

      Season 2 is a bit of a “sophomore slump”, IMO.

      Seasons 3 & 4 are much better comparatively, though probably not as good as S1 - S4 definitely comes close, and does a great job of raising the stakes ahead of the S5 conclusion.

      Season 3 sucks but the others are worth watching, you basically get recapped enough at the start of S4 to skip 3.

        eh. the plot is basically the same every season. it’s pretty boring after the first season.

        the only thing i liked from the later season was the soviet stuff.
