A PERFECT final scene to what was a disappointing final season. I guess we take the wins we can get.

The best thing about this Season of Stranger Things is seeing how nobody gives a sh*t about Mr. Wheeler.

Hate to say it, but this final season of Stranger Things has been really disappointing. Recycled ideas, convoluted plot, bad dialogue, too much exposition, weak acting (Will Byers especially). Outside of episode 6, which was incredible, it's been bad. Hoping the finale is good.

Mo Salah's at AFCON so they can't use him as an excuse for this flat performance (up a man, too). I wonder what all the so-called experts are gonna say now?

Damn, Tom Stoppard passed away??? Arcadia & Travesties made me fall in love with his work, but the film Brazil (which he also wrote) is my all-time fave. One of the GOAT films. Rest in peace, Tom. & Thank you.
