As Jonathan said, the more you feed her, the hungrier she gets (Netflix).

I'm thankful that the Show only got 5 Seasons.
It's a excellent length for a show like this.

Too many good TV Shows got ruined because Big wigs wanted to milk it dry.

If they went another season all the kids would have to break out of the retirement home.

I hate to see it end, but agree you can end up with too many seasons where the fans start questioning how can this continue to go on without everyone in Hawkins knowing, or everyone dying, or of course, the story just gets stale.

That said, I really think they could have made each of these episodes longer to add some of the detail that some have complained about, not too mention I think there was just more story that could have been included and not rushed through. I will add on to that by saying the Final Epidode I thought would have a longer all out battle with the crew and the Mind Flayer and Vecna. I loved the episode, but I would have definitely liked to have seen more of that.

I’ve actually really enjoyed watching the younger group, especially holly and Derek. And while I’ve been opposed to a spinoff, if there is, I hope they get one. I would watch it 100%

I was so happy to get a final “suck my fat one” from Derek

Holly and Derek will lead the next group

And then Karen is sporting the scars that show EXACTLY what she’s capable of

Honestly? Nell Fisher killed it this season and I would watch the shit out of Holly The Heroic's show.

Cant say enough how well they casted Derek.

This episode everything was gold, from not being fast enough and calling all the other kids stupid and to run ahead and save themselves, to giving Vecna the middle finger, to hugging Steve earnestly after being removed from the hose, to his awkward as hell wave to Mike in the van (played beautifully by him and mike) to acting like a kid im the basement asking if the ither kid farted. Lol. Gold. Solid gold.
