Reasons, Why Stranger Things Is Far Far Better Than Obi-Wan Kenobi

Obi-Wan Kenobi and the supernatural horror fiction series Stranger Things Season 4 both released on their respective respective streaming platforms Disney+ and Netflix in the same week.

Stranger Things Season 4 Vol 1 has started off with a bang. Netflix's supernatural horror fiction series keeps getting better season by season.

The clever writings of the Duffer brothers and the powerful performances of the teenage stars have created an atmosphere for the Netflix series Stranger Things Season 4 to behold.

On the other hand, Obi-Wan Kenobi, a mini-TV series from the Star Wars Universe, premiered on Disney+with mixed reactions.

Obi-Wan Kenobi has had a bleak beginning so far. The series seems to be struggling to connect with the audience.

The return of Ewan McGregor as an Obi-Wan Kenobi after nearly 17 years has also been bleak. He has been seen jittery in all the three episodes released so far.

All three episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi are sacrificed for a weak story. Still, Darth Vader's return to the series manages to make the upcoming episodes somewhat curious.

On the other hand, each scene of Netflix's Stranger Things Season 4 is an event in itself, be it comedy, emotions or horror.

The success of Season 4 of Netflix's Stranger Things can be gauged from these figures. Season 4 Vol. 1 of the series has so far garnered over 12.7 million views on Netflix.

Despite the mixed reactions, Obi-Wan Kenobi's figures on Disney+ are excellent. The series has been viewed 11.2 million times so far.

When it comes to story, character development and success, Disney's Obi-Wan Kenobi series doesn't even match up to Netflix's Stranger Things Season 4.

[{"selector":"#anim-81fdb229-9ef1-4b65-bee5-3923b6e4d512 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -4.997007506696193%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

So we can say that Netflix's Stranger Things Season 4 is much better than Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi.
