@magenof yeah, it felt like they had no real idea of what to do with those characters this season, so they just threw them some dull generic Russia side-plot to give them screen time. This season honestly could have just been 8 episodes that were 1 hour each. There was no need for the super long episodes, especially that last one.
@magenof Yeah, that was a bit of a waste of time. Hopefully next season will be more cohesive with everyone in Hawkins, so we won't get as many subplots.

Skipping most of the boring Russia subplot scenes made this season much more focused and bearable for me. I hope they don’t make this mistake in season 5, it felt utterly useless to the otherwise great story.
