This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although at first I was skeptical about season 3 the finale is brilliant !!! I was even touched when Hopper died (who is officially alive). I was also touched when El, Joice, Jonathan and Will were leaving. I even cried when El was reading Hooper's note about "boundaries." I am looking forward to season 4 !!!… Expand

El mal desarrollo de ciertos giros y el desperdicio de personajes que pudieron dar mucho más juego a la trama, lo terminan por sepultar todas las virtudes de una serie que en su momento poseía un encanto unico. El guion acá, es digno de una telenovela.… Expand
