So, the long awaited fourth season of Stranger Things will be arriving soon. That means it's time to look back, and see how things were for the third season.
Stranger Things 3 is the third season of the beloved Netflix show Stranger Things. The show is both produced and distributed by Netflix. This season consisted on eight episodes. The show is created by The Duffer Brothers.
The story is it's 1985 and everyone is enjoying the newly built Starcourt Mall. Mike, Eleven and the rest of the gang are feeling great and can't wait to enjoy their summer vacation. But that soon comes crashing down when something odd is going on around their beloved town, and despite closing the portal to the Upside Down, the gang can't help but think they're still in some sort of danger from it.
- Negatives
This more of my own personal reasons, so feel free to ignore this, but I could not stand Lucas's sister Erica. I don't understand why this character got so much praise. She's not only rude, but extremely annoying! Every time she was on-screen she was either rude, obnoxious, full of herself, or like I said previously, annoying.
Now let's move on to a complaint I think you might agree with me more on, and that's there was far too much relationship drama going on with this season. There's relationship drama going on with Mike & Eleven, there's drama between Hopper & Joyce. On look there's probably something going on with Robin & Steve, oh there's also something with Mrs. Wheeler & Billy! Oh and Lucas & Max broke up! Just holy sh*t man! Why did we need so much on this? I thought this was Stranger Things not something from the CW. And what was also annoying about this was the stuff with Mrs. Wheeler & Billy and Lucas & Max could've easily been written out because by the end of the series, it served no purpose. They really should've toned it down with all this drama, and save some of those storylines for the latter season.
- Mix
I know I just went on a whole rant about the relationship drama, but I do have to give credit for them doing something when it came to the characters. Cause even with the eye rolling relationship issues, the writers still managed to give us other forms of character development and depth that didn't rely on what I complained about before. Still wish it didn't have to start off with the relationship nonsense, but at least we still got something.
My other mix bag with this season was the finale. Now it's still pretty good, but we knew exactly what was gonna happen to one character, and you probably know who I'm referring too. I think many of us might of believed it, had the crew and stuff didn't add an extra scene talking about the "American", right after we just saw the character "die".
- Positives
If there's one truly positive thing regrading this season it's the performances. Despite things been much weaker when compared to the last two seasons, the cast still managed to do an excellent job with the material they were given, and that did still kept me watching.
Stranger Things 3 wasn't all it was cracked up to be. The biggest issues being a very annoying character with Erica, but the biggest problem was the quality of the writing being brought down with all of the relationship drama. While character was still written pretty well, it sucked it started off because of all of the drama. And while the season finale still had something to it, they did bring the quality of that down by showing that a character definitely didn't die. But what really did help the season was the cast and their acting.
My final rating is Okay.
Let's hope season four is very much of an improvement. Anyways, that's all for me. Come back on Saturday, May 21st for my review on the newest Disney+ movie, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day.
