Don't get me wrong, I liked "Stranger Things" Season Two.

It had its moments, for sure. Any scene with Steve Harrington in it? Gold. Scenes of Eleven being the badass that she is? Fantastic. Other scenes? In my opinion, lacking in both character arc and general storyline.

The thing that I can't really move past is the ending. That cliche awful ending where we see all our favorite kids miraculously find love interests in the end. It left me with a bitter feeling, making me wonder: was that needed? Did that progress the characters arcs or did it feel out of place and forced? In my opinion, it was entirely unneeded and kind of unsettling.

Relationships that hadn't been fully fleshed out, such as the one between Lucas and Max, were forced together at the end in a very overplayed manner. It felt like the Duffer brothers pulled an ending idea from a bag of cliches and just went with it. The actress that plays Max, Sadie Sink, didn't even want the kiss to happen -- and the Duffer brothers, seeing her discomfort, made her do it. This, in my mind, reinforces the unnecessariness of this scene.

I kind of understood the reuniting kiss between Eleven and Mike -- but they are just children, do we need to make them make out on camera? There's something really creepy about people rooting for two children to kiss.

The show has such promise, the storyline is full of twists and drama and the cast is beyond talented, but this season had little to no character arcs. We saw Eleven, certainly and we got glimpses of the kids home lives, but did any character really grow? Not really. Will, did, but his arc was the entire plot of the story from beginning, middle, to end. The only other character that had even close to an arc was Steve, who got dumped and then was used more as a helping hand than a real character.

Many scenes didn't make sense, either. The fact that Eleven shows up at the end and is able to somehow close the upside down's giant hold on the town is incredibly unexplained and random. The scene is basically; "Hey, Eleven, remember when you opened that thing? Can ya close it?" and Eleven going "yep!" and then closing it. What? We didn't get any insight into her background or her powers and then somehow she ends up being the hero after being gone for months. This felt random and kind of undermined all the hard work that the gang had put into solving this problem the whole series.

I liked the show, I did, I do have many qualms about it though. Season Three has a lot to answer for, and I, for one, will be eagerly awaiting some very crucial explanations.
