When did Stranger Things jump the shark? 🦈

Season 3, Episode 7

The decline in 'Stranger Things' began around Season 3, Episode 7. This episode, titled 'The Bite', featured an escalation in the show's use of over-the-top plot devices and action sequences that some fans felt diverged from the show's original mysterious and nostalgic tone. The increasing focus on spectacle over character development and the introduction of new characters that didn't resonate as strongly with the audience contributed to a perceived dip in quality.
