Netflix canceled your favorite series prematurely so they could save their money for this

I wonder how many millions had to be spent convincing poor Will to keep his bellend cut without tearing his own hair out:

I felt like it should have ended after season one. But seeing as shows tend to get milked until the cow is slaughtered, theyve done a reasonably good job keeping it going.

I know a lot of people feel like S2 and S3 are unnecessary, but I've enjoyed the entire run of the show up to this point mostly because I liked Steve Harrington's character arc: he was a slightly conflicted yet overall unlikeable douche who screamed 'monster food' from the get-go, yet stepped up at the right moment and kicked ass, and then evolved further from the so-to-be-jilted unsupportive boyfriend to the likeable nanny of the group who's genuinely supportive of the kids and tanks the heavy beatings for them.

I don't think I've enjoyed and appreciated a supporting character's growth this much since Sokka, tbh.

Its a decent show but its insane to spend that much money per episode on a television series, imo.

They should have bought the rights to and properly rebooted Carnivale instead.

Agreeeeed. I fucking love him. Let's not forget his comedic timing and chemistry with the kids.

I watched the first episode and didn't bother with the rest. Maybe one day I'll check it out. Voted for never seen it because I honestly don't remember anything from that 1st episode.

I found it consistently good, but why does it need a budget so high? Cant complain about your bottom line if youre not looking out after ballooning budgets.

Interestingly, my preference for the seasons was S1 -> S3 -> S2. I thought S3 told a more cohesive story and had a better climax than S2, personally. The characters were also more enjoyable and less whiny.

I'm sure the first season majority of the budget went to Winona Rider, now that everyone else is a lot more famous their paychecks likely grew as well.

my headcanon is only season 1 happened

season 2 was such a retread of 1 that it's basically a blur in my mind

season 3 it jumped the shark, the tone/atmosphere changed way too much for the worse and it felt very campy, and they keep doing that netflix series thing where a character's role and personality completely change because they don't wanna pay a new actor for that plot purpose (the sabrina series did this almost every fucking episode and god it pissed me off)

watch the trailer for season 1 and season 4 back-to-back and tell me there's any artistic cohesion left in this production

I'll be honest, I never saw what the hype was about Stranger Things. I didn't even think Season 1 was all that great, but I understand why Netflix wanted to put soo much money into it Stranger Things, because it was the show that netted them the most subscriber boost ever. Squid Games has more overall views that Stranger Things by far, but it didn't boost their subscriber base like how Stranger Things did. Stranger Things was the very reason Netflix started scraping their original shows left and right, they were using Stranger Things as their barometer for "success".
