Stranger Things 3, eps. 1-4: Hawkins, Indiana, will never be the same

In S3's first half, teen angst must quickly take a backseat to far-reaching trouble.

Read the whole story

They somehow managed to spin it into a yet another U.S. vs Russia movie/series.

Well it is nice to fantasize about a time when Russia didn't partially run the US government

The actors and the filming is still great, but the whole thing lacks the mystery the first season had.
That was a big draw for me, I can't remember a moment during this season where I was trying to figure out what was going on.

Well, except for the ending at least. That's filled with mystery.

This season felt more like a kind of character development arc/ fun filler than something that really focused with the upside down.

I stopped watching season 3 midway through episode 2. It made me puke. I'm not at all interested in watching kids romance drama. Hell no.

Make sure you took a shower afterwards to scrub off all the second hand cooties, too

They've also slipstreamed gay people into the story, although them being gay has no impact or matter to the story.


Good season regardless.
Cannot wait for 4th one

The gay people/person you might be referring actually had an impact on the story. The character they spend time with needed a platonic friend instead of a relationship to grow up as a person.

It would have been nice though if he could have learned to have a female platonic friend just because she's pretty cool and not because she's literally incapable of liking him back however. I feel like that sudden "actually I like girls" makes it seems like the guy person is only capable of hanging out with lesbians when it comes to women, otherwise he'll always want a relationship/sex with them.

But oh well, her being a lesbian works too I suppose for him needing a platonic friend.
