Stranger Things season 5 volume 2 dropped on Christmas Day. For the past week, I’ve been sitting with it, rewatching it, and gathering my thoughts on it. For the most part, I loved it. But certain scenes stick out like a sore thumb, making it an underwhelming installment to the series.
The end of volume 1 left fans with a lot to unpack. Will (Noah Schnapp) can control the demogorgans, they failed in saving the kids from Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower), and there was a lot of unknowns in the air. Then volume 2 did a lot of planning. No really, every other scene was the group in Hawkins planning something.
