(minor spoilers contained)
After a long three-year break since the previous season, the first four episodes of Stranger Things 5 are out. Many people think that the season is a letdown because of the underwhelming follow-up to the season four finale. One student at Innovation Academy Baasel Quraishy stated that “the start was a little slow, especially since the end of the world seemed to be upon the characters since season four. It’s a good thing they picked it back up.” On the note of the Duffers picking the show back up… By episode 2, the show comes right back to being the epic spectacle season that season 4 set up. Innovation Academy senior Ethan Tran stated, “I loved this season. In fact, I thought it was better than season 4. Not as good as season 3 or 1 though.” Another problem that many people have with he show is the character aging in between seasons. If you haven’t seen the show, it is centered around a cast that has aged 10 years since season 1. The long season breaks in between each season has caused the actors to completely grow up before the end of the show. With everyone having a love-hate relationship with this season, the only real way to have your own verdict is to watch it! Really… Go watch it right now!
