My wife and I watched all 4 seasons and are now introducing our kids to them. I thought it might be too scary for the younger one, but we've only got 3 episodes left and they're obsessed. It's been a super fun family activity.
This is 100% the appeal of this show IMO. Very few accomplish this.

I can't remember if it was discussed earlier. Apparently the reason season 4 ended so weirdly is that, season 4 was always meant to be the final season and it was being written that way. Then halfway through production some higher up decided that they wanted a 5th and final season. So they haphazardly rewrote the last 2 episodes.

I'm not sure...usually those decisions arent so 'last minute' but I'm undecided on my feelings of a 'Troll Season.'
Just...all the shackles are off, do what you want, no holds barred...give 'er!
Some people want to go out with Grace and some want to go out in flames. I'm not entirely sure which I prefer.
Flames tends to be more entertaining.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
Season 4 was awesome. I am hoping Season 5 just seals off the Upside Down forever and they call it a series for good (and when I say that, no reboots or kickoffs down the line).
It's a rare occasion now when a series goes out on a high note and doesn't ruin it by drawing it out too far.
The series has been getting progressively worse until season 4 which was definitely a return to form. I'd say season 2 was decent, still entertaining if not as good as season 1, and season 3 was actually pretty mediocre. So it's 50/50 on if they'll go out on a high note.

I agree. I feel like it's been on a downward trajectory since the first season, with a few peaks in between. It strikes me as a show that didn't expect to have a long future and then just flew by the seat of their pants after it did well. Also, it insists upon itself.

I loved season 3. Steve and Robin were fantastic and then never ending story part had me dying. It was much more of a bunch of buddy cop shows from the eighties then ET so I get why people didn’t like it as much but for me it was perfect.

Oh man, Dustin and Susie just belting out Never Ending Story, with the cuts to the monster chasing the car, with the faces of everyone going "WTF?" was comedy gold.

New teaser for season 5. So it looks like it'll be released in three 2-hour long episodes:
Volume 1: November 26
Volume 2: Xmas Day
Volume 3: New Years Eve
Did this get pushed back again? I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this was supposed to come out this summer. Oh well, I'm still excited. But f*** me, it's been a long 3+ year wait for this.
