Netflix needs to stop promoting ST as a teen show for season 5

#I remember seeing people all angry because s4 leant into the horror more #sir it has always been a horror/sci fi show #the horror is what makes the character-driven element so layered and compelling imo #I guess they advertise based on what garners they widest interest #(anyone remember what s3 promo season was like? sort of like that) #but I want them to go all out with s5 #the way they originally wanted the show to go #and for promo to reflect that #this is worded so poorly sorry #but it was always supposed to be directed toward older audiences and they were surprised to see the young audience it garnered too #stranger things #byler #<- target audience #st5 speculation #I’m not saying teens can’t watch and enjoy it #because tons of teens - my younger self included - love horror and can appreciate that element #but it’s not a teen drama show and some people treat it like it is #and act like there’s nothing to analyse or dig deeper into
