Season one was great, season two still very good, but season three absolutely killed it for me. Teenage romance troubles, adult romance troubles, "commy" spies - all that is stuff I really didn't want to see. And the humor missed more often then it hit. The plot takes another circle, get's reheated, to start from scratch. How often do they want to do this ? Season two's finale would have been a great ending. And making Billy the one possessed wasn't the smartest decision. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy as far as I am concerned. I didn't care at all for him. And in season three it seems the blood and violence was just there to be there. As mentioned I really enjoyed the first two seasons despite the fact I didn't like any of the kids that much. I liked Hopper who became a douchebag in season three. Production value is great throughout the show. All that's missing was shooting this in 4:3. It looks 80s, it feels 80s and the soundtrack is amazing. I stopped at episode six in season three, I couldn't even bring myself to watch the final two as I completely lost interest within the span of those episodes. Had it ended after S2 I would have given an "8". The third season was a "4" in my book. That accumulates to a high "6"
