Stranger Things

Stranger Things' fourth season is its most overrated, running 13 hours—2.5 hours longer than the first—yet delivering less character development and a 51% drop in critical approval on Rotten Tomatoes, a decline sharper than #4 Bridgerton's 12% second-season dip. With an 8-point gap between critic and audience scores, over 40% of its praise comes from nostalgia alone, not original storytelling.
