I was rather underwhelmed with the ending (open ends or loose ends) but often annnoyed by the childish dialogue. The characters are mostly kids but stil, only on screen do they say "I promise" to something they cannot promise, the reactions are very very childish for people around 18, and how often can one hear "it's all my fault!"? The text on the wall, the reactions by the characters, unreal, very childish. The writing is a lot worse than on S01.

What an wonderful series. Sad to see it end but what a beautiful ending.

I don't see why Deborah opting for euthanasia would be terrible, by the way.

The erratic way the characters behave is still a weak point. One smart sentence after the other (grown-up conversation) and then stupid things in the next. Hopper going from understanding to obnoxious from one scene to the other, listening in one and stubborn in the next, smart in one and then stupid. Characters and dialogue are too black and white, I think that's the series' weakest point.

SPOILERS!

The writing does get kind of lazy. Taking kids as the main characters so you can let them do dumb things? How old is that? But not just the kids, more characters were irrational. Building up to the last scene where time is of the essence, and a dad has time to give a dad talk to his son (moral over story, is this Disney?), people stand watching with guns but don't do anything but shout, and everything is saved at the very last second. That was just cheap, lazy writing. I really liked the show exept a few of such moments, but the last half of the last episode they seemed to all come together.
