Thing is, I don't think this was made with AI. I think it's more of a concerning shift where writers feel they need to explain everything to us multiple times out of fear the audience isn't paying attention, which makes for a maddening experience when you actually are listening to every clunky word.

The show has always been about leaning heavily into nostalgia, but not only for itself. Now, instead of being a charming cover of the high highs of a Steven Spielberg film, #StrangerThings plays more like a closed loop that merely refers back to its better days 📺

It’s a rough start to the end of ‘Stranger Things’ | Review
There is still plenty of room for the series to pull off a big finale, but the season’s reliance on spectacle in this first part doesn’t inspire confidence.
