IGN published its review of Stranger Things: Tales From '85 Season 2, the animated spin-off of the popular Netflix series. The review criticizes the season for underwhelming stories and a lack of meaningful stakes, suggesting the show has yet to find its footing despite the source material's popularity. The critique adds to ongoing discussion about how spin-off media in animated form can struggle to capture the tension and character stakes of its live-action counterpart.
