Plus IMDB will always be a better indicator between the 2.
I love how you just used the average of first 6 episodes when we have 7 out. Episode 7 is so far rated the 2nd worst episode all time on IMDB. Only worse than S2E7. When factored in this is only the 3rd highest rated first 7 episodes of the series, trailing Seasons 1 and 4. I’m sure those ratings will also drop on IMDB as more reviews post.

I haven’t gotten that for. I watched the first 5 and everything yall have said has been full of shite and a lie. So I reckon the next 2 can’t be that bad.
The season 4 thread looked like yall complained just as bad. What a bunch of miserable people. Why do you watch a show that you hate so much. You’re the reason is is the most streamed TV show of all time.

Again, people are watching now to see how it ends being that they have waited a decade for it. The question will be how much staying power the show has once the finale airs. Netflix is banking on people watching this over and over again. For that to happen they really need to nail the finale. If it’s a dud then people probably aren’t going to do rewatches down the road like they do with Harry Potter movies, The Sopranos etc.
I would venture to say many people are hoping they can pull off a great ending next week, but are also skeptical after the latest episodes.

Once again. The first 6 episodes are the highest rated from all the seasons. You can complain as much as you want but you’re in the minority.
You’re making excuses why people are watching the most watched streaming show of all time. Haha
This is destroying every single show you have ever watched live

How is the rating for the first 5 episodes? What about the first 2?

Some of you really think you are Albert Einstein level of geniuses. You think we don’t know who these character were and are? It doesn’t mean the writers have to keep shoving it down the viewers throats in cringey fashion. At no point in the show did any of the core characters and friend groups give off bigot vibes. They are accepting kids. So move on from the woke tropes - there are no societal obstacles to overcome for these diverse set of kids, as written.
Then what exactly have they gone out of their way to superfluously inject that you would deem “woke”? While it’s all been long winded and drug out to seemingly fill run time, all of it has also served the plot points and character development established thus far. There are a lot of shows that pretty blatantly pander to cultural politics (recent Star Wars releases and many of the live action Disney films in particular) but this doesn’t strike me as including it in a “look how social justice we are” kind of way.

Example: there's no reason why Jonathan and Nancy deserve so much story time alone.
They really suck all the momentum out of the show every time they’re on screen. Jonathan in particular hasn’t served a real purpose as a character since the first couple of seasons. Nancy peaked with her character development way too early and really doesn’t hve anything left to do or grow into.
Which also makes it kind of weird that through 5 seasons the only real deaths of some direct consequence to the main group was Eddie in S4 and Billy in S3 (maybe kinda sort of Barb in S1). Nancy and/or Jonathan could’ve been written off by now.

Just because the sky doesn’t strike you as blue, doesn’t mean it isn’t blue.

Corinthians favorite movie/tv moments are woke scenes. What on earth gave you this impression about me?

Still the highest for the most watched tv show of all time streaming.
How angry does that make you that you’re wrong and in the minority.
I don’t remember a show in decades that was as much fun as stranger things.

Playing the gay card in the 80s setting was just awful
No one even knew or cared that Cyndi lauper and George Michael were gay

This.
Woke is the only thing preventing this from being in the top 5 of my all time favorite tv shows.

You can find those rankings right here
And his claim isn't really true.
If you just average out the first 6 episodes of every season, they're all actually pretty close, and season 1 averages just as high as season 5. The difference is season 5 has 1 episode rated at a 9.5 to pull that average up.
So far, with all 7 episodes averaged, season 5 is rated better than season 2 only.

They're both foils for bigger characters. Jonathan for Will and Nancy for Steve. They just don't add much value on their own.

He knows this already. That’s why he keeps mentioning just the first six episodes
