Started out with some interesting characters and somewhat eerie plot but it felt like it fell apart too quickly.
There's a lot of great, creepy parts of this season. But there's also a lot of great character developments. Splitting the party between Hawkins and California gave a lot of time for people to develop.
The season had some pacing issues, with the final episode 2.5 hours to conclude all the things they started. They could've done better at integrating the stories earlier so that the season blended more smoothly.
Still, there's a lot of good drama throughout.
An interesting episode about white collar drug abuse
An alright episode but I didn't really get why they were so vulnerable to start with
It was a sweet episode
Fun episode where everything comes together. I didn't like the fake vomiting. It was visceral.
A slightly fun episode with some predictable moments but good nonetheless.
Surprised the mayor called in. John Carpenter was a bit odd. Fun discussions and panel. The Saymo saga was a nice send-off.
Very intense episode. I don't really get the Vecna stuff yet and where it's leading.
I didn't really need to see the villain backstory
Great section with Dennis towards the end. Fun episode .
Funny ending, but it felt like it took a while to get there
It advances the plot and Saru retires, but otherwise the episode felt like it had a lot of fluff.
I still don't feel strongly about either Barnie or Blanche
Stephanie still feels like a middling character and a whole episode relitigating the season premiere wasn't very entertaining.
I really didn't care about Barney and his family life. He was never a very interesting person.
Reasonable dialog between Archie and Edith
The episode felt poorly paced
A very emotional episode and the season finale ends on a very melancholy note
A lot of tension in the episode
The cast chases down this treasure for the season and Michael manages to get into it and activate it only to find it's not really nearly as useful as they thought.
The second half of the episode wraps up the show, with an elderly Michael. There were some parts I enjoyed, though i think the episode focused too much on Michael and not enough on the broader cast.
A fun moment between Archie and Edith and a nice cameo by Jefferson.
The portal was cool. I didn't get why Michael and Book decided to have that discussion right then. Alright let's see where the portal goes.
A good episode. While I didn't entirely like the long-lost sibling trope, the writing was good.
An alright episode. But it felt predictable.
The trope of being stuck in a storeroom isn't original. They tried to make a good discussion out of it, but I didn't like the episode.
I think it was always clear Edith wouldn't leave Archie so the tension never felt real.
An alright episode that really only hits the peak at the end with Archie's concerns about aging. It would be better had they spent more time on that.
I didn't really like the way this episode, and the season, ended. They had been hyping up Homelander's death in some epic conflict. But then when it happens they decide to turn on Soldier Boy. The inclusion of the child felt forced, I guess to set up the next season, but it felt out of place.
The storylines converged a little but still felt very divergent. Maeve's retreat seemed mainly as a way to keep her character busy because they didn't have a way to write her in. Then she gets a small part and then retires.
Soldier Boy and Homelander are basically alive and in fine condition so the episode didn't have real consequences. Butcher might die but the prognosis is actually not short.
Black Noir dies for no good reason. It felt like a abnormally dumb decision.
So overall it felt disappointing.
I didn't really enjoy the episode. Archie acts very curmudgeonly. The robbery seems to happen at an odd time and those characters weren't really fleshed out.
