The Stranger Things Documentary Exposed a Bigger Problem With TV

TV Is Broken — And Stranger Things 5 Proved It

After watching One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5, I walked away more frustrated than emotional.

Not because I hated Season 5.
Not because I didn’t enjoy moments.
But because the documentary confirmed what a lot of fans have been feeling for a while now:

👉🏾 TV just isn’t hitting the same anymore.

We waited YEARS for the final season of Netflix’s biggest show… only to find out the finale was filmed without a finished script, major story decisions were made mid-production, and key plot points were debated but never followed through.

And Stranger Things isn’t the only example.

In this video, I talk about:
• Why modern TV feels rushed and inconsistent
• How shows are being written season-by-season instead of as full journeys
• Why fans are tired of waiting years for short seasons with little payoff
• What the Stranger Things documentary really revealed (and who it quietly cleared)
• Why blaming fans and content creators misses the point
• And why projects like Harry Potter and Wicked prove it doesn’t have to be this way

This isn’t a hate video.
I loved Stranger Things.
But loving something doesn’t mean ignoring its flaws.

And if this is the future of TV?
We need to talk about it.
