I think its been pretty good so far, yeah, final seasons can meander and I'll agree that I think the way they're wrapping up storylines is...borderline lazy.
Spoiler!
The whole Nancy/Jonathan confession scene was pure cringe for instance. The Mom in the Hospital thing? That was lame as all hell. The hysterical girlfriend thinking her girlfriend was on drugs was dumb. The Will Byers 'coming out' scene was just...I dont know...most obvious and least well kept secret in TV? That might have gone down better if we didn't know it was super obviously coming and if the actor delivering that scene didn't completely suck.
Agreed that the Holly character is kind of lame, why parachute her into this? The scenes with her and Max suck.
Really, the main cast of Millie Bobby Brown, David Harbour, Wolfhard, Matarazzo, Hawke and Keery are the ones doing all the heavy lifting here.
That being said, I'm still enjoying it, it is well past time to wrap 'er up. We're in it to the end. Some scenes are unnecessary, some are too long, etc. but I also understand that in some ways its a 'Good-Bye Letter' to the show and the cast so let them chew the scenery a bit.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
