One my good friend's and his wife usually do a cookout and have a little party for every season of Stranger Things. He asked if I would be going this year and I said no. He actually has gotten tired of the show but his wife still wants to watch. I thought the second season was worse but still didn't annoy me until the third season. I have reached a point of being so tired of the "girls who are much better than men" trope that is in everything and to top it off, they have the "insert unnecessary lgbt character"
I remember reading that she was supposed to be added as a romantic subplot for the reformed jock (makes sense for a show paying homage to the 80s) but then they decided to subvert expectations. So I would imagine the next season the four original boys will be background characters so the girls can shine. Also, that little sister was annoying, but of course the critics raved and said that lesbian character was the best one.
Nothing shocked me more than watching an anime and the show being only 20 episodes long. Especially a massive hit anime that's widely regarded as one of the best. And what was more shocking is that wasn't an outlier, sure some animes go on for 40-60 episodes, and others plod along to triple digits of filler, but that a show can tell its story, move through its characters plotlines, and then just simply conclude at the peak...
