This has become a common criticism of the show.

EvenStranger Things star,Millie Bobby Brown, has criticized the Duffer brothersfor refusing to kill their darlings.

She made this criticism in jest, but she has a point.

At a certain point, the stakes dont feel so high anymore.

Season 5 needs to finally kill someone off.
