Stranger Things

Season 3

Great season with a rocky start. When every new season starts in a series that had complete archs in its previous seasons there is always audience impatience if it doesn't hit the same highs right off the bat. It often takes a few episodes to lay a new foundation, tease out the loose ends and build a framework for another great story. But this season hit a new low. It would have been better to merge the first two episodes, get past "the kids are growing up, romance is in the air" and on to the peril and ingenious response. Once it picks up speed, though, this season is back up to its high potential. The bedrock of this series is its wonderful characters, well delivered. The story arch was inventive, the characters welcoming, the young talent just getting better and better, great new cast members, clever humour and a wonderful revisit to the 80s. The parallel story lines were riveting. Altogether, a great experience. Despite the rocky start, I give season three a 10 out of 10, and maintain my series rating of 10 (totally entertainment) out of 10. [SciFi Mystery Drama]
