+ Billie’s performance + Mindflayer and hosts + Sometimes more mature and more gory, but this is ruined by all the unecassary moments. Lucas’ sister, no comment needed here- but jesus christ. Stranger Things has clearly heard those criticisms, and season three answers them by letting women drive much of its plot indeed, they frequently lead their male counterparts by the nose, and it’s. Stranger Things was always childish but funny at the same time, now it’s just cringe because it’s implemented at the wrong moments( Dustin singing) - Characters screaming all the time and being excess versions of themselves. Mindflayer infesting other people was cool, but often ruined by childish moments as the rest of the season was. There is no more interesting twist, just the same old formula and blatant rip offs from other movies(Terminator, Alien, and tropes from previous seasons). Stranger things was always inspired by other movies, but had their own twist that made things interesting. Now he is just loud, obnoxious and overall a horrible person. He went from caring guardian that would do everything it takes to protect the town and the ones he loves. After two good seasons, that both held their own in form of quality- season 3 is merely a shadow of its predecessors.

After two good seasons, that both held their own in form of quality- season 3 is merely a shadow of its Well, i really wanted to like this. Is this one Invasion of the Body Snatchers? Yes? Close Encounters? You betcha - without any building or even competent replication. The worst offender - the "strange" - is such a hodgepodge of other better sci-fi / horror that all the tension and surprise is known at the beginning of scenes. Mild commentary on issues (small town business killed by big mall) is uninformed, and inaccurate. Scenes jump constantly with no tact or intent. The editing is choppy, derivative and frenetic. 100% of the women characters have zero depth and Eleven is basically a mentally disabled "make-out" doll who speaks broken sentences but otherwise retains nothing from her previous lifes trauma. When the band of misfits set out to solve the mystery, Stranger Things 3 crackles with the same oddball charm, dark suspense, innocence and self-aware humor. Its nostalgia without applying a modern perspective to remove the problematic elements. Its filled with rehashed tropes with zero commentary or evolution. Its nostalgia without "Regressive, Boring Things" is a more apt title.
#STRANGER THINGS 3 REVIEWS SERIES#
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes gave the series an overall approval. Its filled with rehashed tropes with zero commentary or evolution. Stranger Things has received critical acclaim from critics and viewers alike. As a Stranger Things skeptic, season 3 brought me the most pleasure in its many scenes set amid the harshly lit mall corridors, sticky multiplexes, public pools and country fairs where I was among. "Regressive, Boring Things" is a more apt title.
