Coincidentally a friend just harangued me for having never watched Stranger Things. I saw Super 8 and wasn't smitten, and I don't have Netflix – is it worth it to just get the first season on DVD, is that even possible?

But yeah, I mean – the Stranger Things writers are married with kids, no? How much you want to bet this is Netflix and/or shareholder pressure: "Need more new world order in this, or else!"

Haven't seen it either. Haven't been harangued...yet, but I consider not watching it a medal for having broken free of the pop cult, and I encourage others to do likewise.

Right on. It's like how I never got any AirPods and entirely skipped that whole trend.

Netflix = No physical media

This is why there is fear over WB being bought by them.

This is how the Left wins. No matter how Leftist an institution, they always push it further. The right sees the Left as static, a winner. But instead it is revolutionary, always moving. Few dare to ask “what’s next?”

I'd say it has more to do with absolutely stupid unengaging plot of a show that should've been canceled after season 3. But sure such flaws and wokeness very often go hand in hand.
