Yeah I really enjoyed it, but I sort of wish they'd tied up a few more of the loose ends and finished it there. I can't see how they'll top what they've already done if they carry it on. By the end, it's already sort of lost the horror, strange unknown, aspect - and become more of a monster, action show. That's fine, but they can't just come back with an even bigger monster next time, or it'll be silly, especially since all the main characters seem to have plot armour. Perhaps if they do something with a much more subtle and unnerving threat while the characters return to relatively normal lives, and kill some of them off.
I think they only plan to do 4 seasons. I can see where there's room for 2 more seasons. I kind of want to see it get more Lovecraftian. The Mind Flayer was kind of a tease. If they go past that, I'm more doubtful it will stay good.
I really don't mind plot armor. I'm getting a little tired of the current trend of main character death quotas. It was great when the concept was new. Like holy shit, I never expected _____ to die, but it doesn't shock me anymore.
