A Man on the Inside continues to tackle very hard-hitting subjects with the sensitivity of a warm hug, and the intelligence of an informed mind. It's funny, it's entertaining, and it's everything you want from a comedy. But, it's also thought-provoking and enlightening.

Overall, Season 5 did have some flaws, but from an entertainment stand point, it delivered. The scenes in the Upside Down were eerie and exciting. The gang working together to track the Demogorgons and foil Vecna's plan was classic Stranger Things. And best of all: Vecna's sinister plans involving the kids of Hawkins...

Creature Commandos, at first glance as well as after finishing the show, is very clearly just James Gunn's The Suicide Squad with monsters.
