Online Series: Stranger Things: The 5th and final season

It's pretty annoying how Netflix keeps splitting the final seasons of hit shows into multiple parts.
Annoyed the hell out of me in Cobra Kai, now they're doing it again.

I'll be honest I don't even care about this show anymore because of these ridiculous breaks. I don't even remember what happened anymore. In my mind the Metallica song beat the demons and saved the day, the end.
It's been so long that the younger sister of Lucas in the show just graduated high school in real life this year.

I actually prefer it. Lessens the chances of getting spoiled on Youtube for example. I don't have the time nor energy to binge whole seasons on one go. They've already done it successfully with Arcane for example. Also keeps people talking about the show longer.
Are we also supposed to ignore the effects of the strikes? They literally had to stop production because of them.
The strikes and covid are excuses with this show. Season 3 released in July 2019. There has been 17 episodes filmed since then. 8 for season 4 and 9 for the final season.
Season 3 wrapped up filming in 2018 so it's taken them 7 years to film the final 17 episodes for this show, it's absurd.
Hell even House of the Dragon released 18 episodes from August 2022 to July 2024.
There was also this little thing called a pandemic... Millie's also fairly busy these days.
I said covid was an excuse too same with the strike.
And like I said if house of the dragon can put out 18 episodes in a 2 year span then this show should have been able to release 17 episodes in less than 6 years. It's all excuses.

1st season one was easily the best.
Everything since has been fine but not must watch telly. The Metallica part was really cringey.

Also, the actors that play Jonathan and Nancy are now in their 30s. They played seniors in high school in Season 1.
I prefer it to dropping the whole season at once, but I'd really prefer one episode per week. That seems like the best way to lessen spoilers and keep people talking about the show, but that's obviously not Netflix's thing, so we get these weird two and, now, three part splits.
I get the feeling that they didn't really have a plan for the series and it just took them a long time to think of what each season would be about. Bringing back Hopper after killing him off seems like the best evidence of winging it. I doubt that having a whole season be about his rescue from a Siberian gulag was actually planned ahead of time.

I wonder how Lost would've done for its final seasons if streaming platforms were a thing back then. Network TV is all about the schedule, it's not like the creators can ask the network for more time or to take a year off. I also wonder how much different Stranger Things would be if it come out on network TV back in like 2010.
