Why It's Good Stranger Things Didn't End With Season 1 (Despite Later Seasons' Problems)

Though the later seasons of Stranger Things have some issues, it's good that the show didn't end with the first season. Streaming franchises are the new thing in Hollywood, but Stranger Things came out at a time when it was still a new field. It has since expanded from a self-contained sci-fi tale about kids in a small town in the United States to a sprawling global story that has captured the interests and imaginations of people around the world. Now the show is set to end with season 5, and while Stranger Things season 1 was certainly entertaining and engrossing, so much would've been missed if it ended prematurely.
