"What the actual fuck" is my entire reaction to Hopper this season! He's abusive, violent, and basically unhinged - he wasn't even this bad when he was a pill-abusing alcohol mess after his daughter's death! I mean, I realize that having an upswing in one's personal life doesn't automatically erase depression and alcoholism, but I also feel like the show isn't engaging with it on that level - this isn't supposed to be Hopper completely gone off the rails, this is just ... well ... WTF is happening, I don't even know, but at this point he's burned through my goodwill from past seasons and I just wish he'd get more pushback from the people around him. (Instead I suspect he's going to get narratively rewarded with a love interest and no repercussions for all the assaults and torture because it's Cartoon Russians and Cartoon Russian collaborators, and this bugs me more than it probably should.)
