So I'm finally watching stranger things season 3

So I'm finally watching stranger things season 3.
I'm surprised how shit it is. It's completely different from the previous seasons. It looks more like a cheap family comedy. Every character has become a cliché version of itself.
Why the high rating on IMDb? Am I missing something?

All of the seasons were shit.

Yeah 3 was bad. I couldn't even finish it.

Why is it rated so high on IMDB? I often agree with IMDB ratings but it feels like Netflix shows are overrated on the platform for some reason.

I feel the same way. It's like a completely different show written by different people, who somehow don't have even the slightest grasp of what made the show worth even seeing or what made the characters likable.

Once people like it, they do not stop supporting the brand until it's pure garbage. People supported Game of Thrones until the consensus became that it was shit so they decided it was shit. People watched the first two episodes of Westworld and decided Westworld is an amazing mindfuck show, while in fact the writing became garbage after episode 3 and never recovered. Purely brand loyalty and people being afraid to lose face, nothing else.

They will churn these out for years and years to come and you know it. Don't forget spinoffs and movies and videogames and themeparks.

The only good season was season 1. Every character had a distinctive role to play in the narrative. By season 2 it became obvious they didn´t know what to do with certain characters and a lot of stuff felt derivative. Realizing this, season 3 is made to be different... except it ended up not being good different.
I think they´ve realized that too but are unable to come up with something bigger than the nightflyer, which if you ask me it´s the wrong mind set, they should not be thinking bigger, they should be thinking stranger. What makes season one work is that they are facing the unknown. Now they are just fighting something they know about but it´s too fucking big for a group of teenagers to handle.

Best character died
