The show is set in the 1980's, and that works well with the plot devices and really makes the show possible. The characters on this show are very well fleshed out, and they all feel like real people, even minor characters that are only present in 1 or 2 scenes. The pacing on the show is also fantastic. The show only tells the viewer little bits of information, enough that they know what is going on, but not too much that it just gives away the answers. This keeps the show interesting. The acting is great too. Every actor or actress is putting in a lot of effort, and that goes for both children and adults.

How a show gets better as it goes on is amazing to me. The season seems to culminate ideas from The Thing, Terminator and even Red Dawn. Overall a must-watch for the summer.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is a good show.

the best part of this show is the character's relationships and backstories. It isn't perfect all the time but is enjoyable. The bad part is the villain that is just a generic monster that wants to take the world without reason. Personally, I like more complex villains and plots.

Also, this show has many non-sense Hollywood cliche scenes with kids managing to escape or defeating monsters or URSS Soldiers. I personally don't like this element, it kills the likelihood of the show.

Edit in the 4th season finale: The villain responsible for all the supernatural tragedies in the previous season was revealed. That improved the enjoyment of the show. The 4th season finale (2h episode) was above average, it was a very tense episode with many swings in the fights and some tragedies in the end. I would give 8/10 to this finale, although the remainder of season 7th is still 7/10… Expand

-Screenplay and characters feel contrived this time around Dont get me wrong, S3 is a very enjoyable and high quality outing but a few nagging points stopped it from achieving perfection this time around... EG:-why is Joyce so intensly motivated to solve the disturbances? Why is hopper now a great number of IQ points lower than previous outings?? The motivations of the characters just feel too convenient and inserts for the sake of 'team up 80's style' moments and the various odd almost sketch like setups.. I miss those natural, slower paced moments of S1. Nonetheless STS3 is one heck of a show to watch in 2019.… Expand

Review Of Stranger Things S1-S3

Stranger Things S1: Stranger Things S1 is only 3 years old but it already feels like a brilliant classic, the main focus is on the characters which inhabit this twisted yet beautiful fictional town, the showReview Of Stranger Things S1-S3

Stranger Things S1: Stranger Things S1 is only 3 years old but it already feels like a brilliant classic, the main focus is on the characters which inhabit this twisted yet beautiful fictional town, the show absolutely nails the 80s vibe, classic technology, adverts, architecture and cliches which were prominent at the time. It's got a dark and twisted narrative which manages to hook you after the second episode, a brilliant cast of characters which are all different, well realized and developed and above all a disturbing and somewhat scary antagonist. I wouldn't call Stranger Things (Season One) a horror per se, it's more of a psychological thriller/drama. On top of all this it has an amazing soundtrack, I listen to some of the tunes present in the show on the daily. Overall Stranger Things Season One is near perfect, it manages to nail pretty much everything important but in saying that it does do a few things wrong but overall 8.7/10.

Stranger Things S2: The second season is my personal favorite, it once again manages to nail everything the first season did and improve on some things the first season did wrong, character development hits an all time high in this season, relationships that were already established previously are deepened, the performances given by the actors and actresses this time around are a lot more believable as the kids have matured since the previous season. The new additions to the cast are also A+. The stakes are a lot higher in this season although the antagonist isn't as intimidating this time around. I only had one issue with this season, S2 E7 is so out of place and downright boring at times, it completely deviates from the source material and ends up becoming a chore to watch, it feels like a set up for a potential spin off or movie. You could skip E7 and not miss out on any vital information but once this episode is over the brilliance returns. I felt quite satisfied by the time the credits rolled, another solid season. Overall Stranger Things Season Two is an improvement over it's predecessor, 9.5/10.

Stranger Things S3: The third season of this brilliant show is once again another solid season but it has some issues. I watched Season 3 twice just to make sure my thoughts and opinions were justified. Season Three doesn't feel like a step forward or back, I say this because it's on par with the previous two seasons but it doesn't improve upon anything. The acting once again was solid and believable, the chemistry between these actors is visible on screen and I feel it adds an extra layer of believability to the show. At this point you care about all of these characters and their relationships, this season explores teen romance and the drama that comes along with it. This is definitely the funniest season of the three, almost all of the jokes land and it feels a lot more lighthearted than the previous two seasons. There are once again new additions to the cast which are once again all brilliant. Now lets get into the negatives, I personally found this season to be a bit of a drag for a while, it has some really bad pacing issues and sub plots that don't lead anywhere. The season starts of pretty strong, we're introduced to the gang again and this makes for some childish fun but as soon as E2 ends, things go South for a bit. It slows down drastically from E3, there are some unnecessary sub plots which don't really make sense and don't lead anywhere, scenes drag on and on because it lacks the same mysterious and disturbing vibe the previous seasons had. The narrative is a mess from E3-E5, things don't make sense, characters are split up into duos and trios and it takes too many liberties, it relies on the fact that you care about these characters rather than telling a cohesive and immersive story. It gets way too unrealistic too, the previous two seasons always felt grounded and believable but this season feels like more of a cartoon than anything else. I didn't feel immersed in the narrative until the final two episodes, there weren't any heart racing moments like the previous two seasons either. It starts picking up the pace after E5 and it makes a huge comeback. Episodes 6,7,8 contain some of the best moments in the entire show, the stakes are raised, the tension builds and you're immersed once again. E7 and E8 are absolutely brilliant, easily the best two episodes in the show. E8 in particular was a masterpiece, everything starts to make sense, the tension goes through the roof and it feels realistic again. I can't express my true views on this episode in writing but I can tell you, it was simply breathtaking. Overall Stranger Things Season Three suffers from slow pacing for a few episodes but as soon as you're ready to find something else to watch it reels you in for an amazing finale. As a result this season's saving grace is it's finale, 10/10 purely because of the brilliant finale.

Due to being so intrigued by its concept andHaving heard nearly nothing but good, actually great, things about 'Stranger Things', despite it attracting some criticism (like a lot of popular shows do these days, interest was high watching it. Due to being so intrigued by its concept and various ideas and tones.

'Stranger Things' on the most part is deserving of the love it has, for me its lack of originality was not a problem because it executes so much of everything else so wonderfully. It is not perfect and not an even in quality show, but when it was good, as shown in a quite excellent first season, boy was it more than great. Along with 'The Crown' and 'House of Cards' in its prime, 'Stranger Things' is one of the best Netflix has done and in well above their general standard.

Do agree absolutely that Season 2 is not near as good as Season 1. There are still a lot of elements present in Season 2 that was especially good about the first season and part of the show's appeal, but somehow the writing didn't always feel as tight, focused or rounded and some of it was a bit forced and obvious.

Also felt some of the effects weren't as refined either. While the acting is great from almost all the cast, Winona Ryder's melodramatic over-acting did feel at odds with everything else.

Everything else is executed so well. A vast majority of the time, apart from the lack of refinement of some of the effect in the second season, the production values are just great. Very stylish and atmospheric, with some truly beautiful images that one can't believe such high quality comes from a Netflix show. The music is haunting and nostalgic.

Writing is thought probing and has a lot of brains and heart, with some nice gentle humour that doesn't overpower, some truly poignant drama and tension. The story is rich in atmosphere and even though the story ideas are not original and have been understandably described as derivative, it's the execution and telling of these ideas that makes one look past that. The suspenseful mystery elements, the inventive and intriguing sci-fi elements and dark and disturbing horror elements are beautifully balanced and handled adeptly on their own. With an emotional core and nostalgic homages added as well.

Characters are compelling and it's the chemistry and interaction and how the relationships are written that makes 'Stranger Things' work so well. Excepting Ryder, the acting is terrific. The standouts being Finn Wolfhard and particularly Millie Bobby Brown (such an expressive actress in a beyond-her-years subtle way), if they continue to act this way and be wise with their career choices they are very likely to have big careers.

Overall, very good show and at its best excellent. Do wish that Season 2 was as good as the first though. 8/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

Eleven, Mike, Will and the rest of the gang come together once again to get rid of this threat once and for all. Millie Bobby Brown is a STAR. I have said that before but I really believe it now. She has put a stamp on her future after three strong seasons of this series and I cannot wait to see what she does for the big screen (and hopefully she gets casted in better films than Godzilla: King of the Monsters). I don’t have to mention this but of course Winona Ryder and David Harbour provide great performances per usual but the surprise standout has to be Priah Ferguson who portrays Erica (Lucas’ little sister). She was sampled a little bit in season 2 and I guess the filmmakers answered our requests that she gets a lot more screen time. And I’m glad to say she becomes part of the main cast and she had me laughing after every line of dialogue. We all should come to know that Stranger Things always gives us great, clever writing with a really good suspense/thriller story. This season probably provides my favorite story as we finally move away from Will being the constant host of the “Demagorgons” and the stakes become much higher and grand. And as time in this series progresses, obviously our core cast of teens are aging. They aren’t kids anymore so there are some realistic aspects thrown in on some of them getting into their first relationship and others feeling left out and pushed to the side. Very relatable to us all whether we feel on either spectrum. Our main cast splits into four different story lines and I was invested into all of them for the most part. I will not lie that it took me a couple episodes to really get going into the story line that involves Chief Hopper and Joyce Byers. But as their story progresses, I couldn’t help but to love the outcome. This specific season most likely ends off on the most emotional note compared to the previous two. And that is not possible without the great writing and character development that the Duffer Brothers seem to give the main cast. And I absolutely adored the setting of this series as it takes place around and on July 4th. The set design and cinematography is so colorful and vibrant and the last two seasons do not match up to this third season as far as looks go. I have to sleep on this third season a bit before I say that it is my favorite but just the fact that I am thinking about it... definitely means you all will enjoy this new installment of Stranger Things. Happy binging!!!… Expand

Watched over the last few weeks and I can't believe that I slept through it and where does the good children's drama come from all of a sudden? Even something like ES was really good in this respect.

Inspiring, grandiose and incrediblyWatched over the last few weeks and I can't believe that I slept through it and where does the good children's drama come from all of a sudden? Even something like ES was really good in this respect.

Inspiring, grandiose and incredibly exciting from start to finish. Stranger Things as a mix of thriller, mystery and drama delivers on an incredibly good level and has catapulted itself directly to the most popular series with my girlfriend and me.

Hopper is the pillar and superbly characterized and acted. Otherwise, the development of all other characters or newly added figures is absolutely coherent and meaningfully woven into the series. Harrington e.g. is going through a really strong development. Likewise, the story, which is often told on different levels, is so well connected that each merging of the individual strands never seems superimposed, but fits completely organically into the narrative and everything follows a common thread.
It then jumps again and again between the individual stories, but they are absolutely exciting on their own and then lead to a really satisfying result.

We are absolutely thrilled and can't wait for Season 4. I actually never had the feeling that I was watching a bad episode, only one or the other scene was a bit lengthy. By the way, the effects are exceptionally well done and it definitely has its spooky moments.

Absolutely recommendable (if someone still lives behind the moon).… Expand

it started very well, but it has been declining with the passing of the seasons, but maintaining an above average quality.
It was the first Netflix series, so I have a huge affection for the first season that was the best so far!

It is a great and very modern series. Definitely the best series right now (2020).
The cast does a real great job (especially Winona Ryder) and it is getting better every season. Season 3 is by far the funniest and best season. This is a must watch!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Stranger things is what you get if the classic TV show Twilight Zone is crossed with the Disney movie Enchanted. The story for this series is set in the '80s when the Landline was the cutting edge of communications technology. But it manages to serve up the nostalgia of that time with the fast-paced storytelling style of today. Read on to find out if this weird sounding series is your cup of tea. Stranger Things Plot Summary Stranger Things starts off with a suspense-filled scene where a group of people who look like scientists is being hunted in an underground facility. The scene is edge of the seat stuff. A lone person in a lab coat is trying to close elevator doors with lights flickering in a long dark hallway.  This cuts to kids playing Dungeons and Dragons in a basement. One of these kids
(Will Byers) goes missing in the town of Hawkins in the US where they live. The connection between these scenes is that an interdimensional gateway is discovered that lets monsters out and leads people into it.  The plot is centred around how this interdimensional gateway is closed, stopping an invasion of sorts. On the way to saving the world, government conspiracies and human experimentation are uncovered. There is telekinesis, telepathy, people falling in love and more. Unique Things Stranger Things has great visuals and good depth to its characters. It has great casting with Winona Ryder playing the missing boy's mother and energetic young preteens who are fresh new faces. It has a background score that is calm and reminds one of life in the suburbs. The title theme, of course, is thrilling and what made me start watching in the first place. The title Stranger Things is a callback to the era of Neon lights- the iridescent red glowy letters ( u can almost imagine the buzzing ). It has a good blend of CGI and actual stunts. The characters actually grow significantly as individuals,  as the plot moves forward. This is rarely seen in most series.  Similar Things Stranger things has drawn inspiration from shows like "The Outer Limits" and the "The Twilight Zone". It pays tribute to them through subtle similarity in plot and music. It also reminds one of the Stephen King novel-turned-movie "The Mist". It sees people trapped in a supermarket and surrounded by a thick fog while monsters pour in out of the fog. This also has an interdimensional gateway. There is also a light X-Files vibe if it was slightly older.  Of course, there is a clear reference to the Steven Spielberg movie E.T where the alien is carried in a bike basket. A central character named Elle ( short for Eleven ) flips a truck while sitting on a kiddie bike in the front. All Things Put Together This series has something for everyone. There are good character arcs, there are action and suspense. There's young love and sacrifice. This is a soulful endeavor that will leave you wanting more. Give it a go

I only had two problems with this season, first one being: not killing max. even tho I really like max, it really seemed like she is going to die, not letting her die shows weak writing. strong writers are often not afraid to kill core characters off. and my second problem is the "multiple story line" concept. it worked well on previous seasons but now we have characters that are totally not even in the picture of what's going on, in the ENTIRE first part of season 4 some characters don't interact . we also barely see will and mike, the MAIN characters of this show which is just sad.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Season 1 review:
Season 1 of stranger things is nearly perfect. The entire plot, story, and best of all the mystery behind Hawkins is super amazing. Great visuals and the characters in this show are really good. Characters like Steve, Dustin, Nancy, and Jonathan Byers are flat out great characters and actors. My only negatives for this season is that they probably could’ve gone a little more scarier and making more scary for the viewers. They had so much more potential especially with the monster as the villain and the evil upside down world they introduced. Other than that, this season is perfect and I love the ending where they get will back and eleven fights the monster to save wills friends. I also love the little cliff hanger we get at the very end of the show where will goes inside the bathroom and coughs up the little slime thing from the upside down and he even also has a moment where he thinks he’s back in the upside down. Overall, this is a must watch and is worth every single second of your time… Expand
