Duffer Brothers Admit They Haven’t Watched ‘Stranger Things’ In Years

LOS ANGELES-Addressing the show's hotly anticipated finale at a press event this week, Stranger Things co-creators Matt and Ross Duffer admitted to reporters that they haven't watched the series in years. We got through most of the first season, mostly because of all the buzz it was getting, but after that we really fell off," Matt Duffer said as his brother nodded and cited long wait times between new episodes, baffling plot holes, and frequent pacing issues among the reasons they stopped tuning in. Some of the stuff with the bald girl-Thirteen or whatever-was kind of cool. I think she's supposed to be some kind of space alien. But as soon as those stupid demo-monsters appeared, the show completely lost us. By the third season, it felt like they'd totally abandoned any meaningful character development. It just became this surface-level '80s nostalgia fest. Which is fine if that's your thing, but it's not for us." The brothers went on to express surprise that Stranger Things ever got a second season, let alone a fifth one.
