Stranger Things: Chapter Eight: Papa (2022)
Season 4, Episode 8
With my all due respect.. I can't take where they're going with this

Warning: Spoilers
This show really started as something genuinely new and special. And also with a lot of references to 70s and 80s films and so to say pop art and stuff. Music and all that blah blah.

And it was a great mystery show. The first two seasons were really great. But already back then I was asking myself where this would all end up.

You mostly had horror elements in narrow spaces. In homes and stuff. Walls moving. Monsters. Creatures.

We waited sometimes for 2 years for it to continue.

And now we end up in a story of another kid in that laboratory where the Mathew modine character did his stuff and it all ends up in the story of 001.. a kid that kind of created that creature within himself.

Forgive me my low effort of finding words. But I was hoping for like alien stuff. Or judgement day. I don't know.

Season 4 is full of cheap soap opera stuff. They didn't really let the character grow with their age. That's why their dialogues feel so weird.

What's with that Russian story like ?! Like why ?

I'm watching episode 8 now and I already don't really care. Wondering if I'm to hard with it. But I really feel this is very sloppy.

They all got their screen time and that's it. It's lost. And a way to fight that monster kid is finding a song that particular person likes ?! Like wtf.

Insert story here dude.

It's way to.well behaved.

Also I'm drunk. But it's still my opinion.

I mean I'm a grown man.. give me some real content.

And please someone give Natalie Dyer some food.

Update : the more I watch the worse it gets. Even the music got cheaper. That face off between 11 and modine. Terrible cinematography.

They should've left that laboratory stuff behind. Trying to go back and close that somehow Is like a dog chasing its tail. It was cool in the beginning and you could have kept some of it maybe, but only revolving around it is just plainly stupid.

So so sad.
