Very predictable show which makes it boring to watch. Has too many f1ddle stick characters with fiddle st1ck agenda so I wouldn't recommend showing this to your kids.

It's merely a teenage drama fantasy with too many inconsistencies for its own universe: unfortunately the suspension of disbelief has its limits.

Saison 4 part 1 : Some cool stuff but the most of "things" is boring and a lot of blabla. Just put an end to the series.

I think it doesn't have neither the depth nor the scares to call it a horror series. It's just childish and silly

Political beliefs should have NO place in entertainment. Because of this, I will NO longer have anything to do with this series, I will tell everyone that I know (using social media as well) that this television series advocates for violence against people.

Predictable and laughable beyond belief. I realize it's sci-fi, but we are expected to believe the Russians came to town and built miles of underground tunnels underneath a mall? In a years time? The tons of equipment and heavy machineryPredictable and laughable beyond belief. I realize it's sci-fi, but we are expected to believe the Russians came to town and built miles of underground tunnels underneath a mall? In a years time? The tons of equipment and heavy machinery didn't tip off, anyone? El's Mary Sue abilities means no matter how dangerous the situation the kids get into, she's going to save them a la deus ex machina, ad nauseam. None of the main good guys ever get killed off, no doubt Jim Hopper will make a miraculous comeback in season 4. Sprinkle some 80s pop culture here and their and the shows premise has become pretty tiresome.… Expand

Season 1 is somehow fresh but all the next is pretty much the same story but with different special effects. Season 3 is a farce.

First season was awesome, but since both the second and this one just pulling the same string over again with diminishing returns.

Hey, the production values are off the charts, the FX are great, the authentic nostalgia literally packed into every second, the quality of the actors top notch, but the story is boring, and the pacing is plodding, and the only good episode of this season was the last one. Just filling a season with fluff, most of which doesn't advance the plot, isn't doing it for me. They are going to beat this dead horse for years to come, and it's depressing.… Expand

This is a review for season 4. I hated season 2. It's clear that the show wasn't meant to continue past season 1 in this way. It was meant for an anthology. I skipped season 3 and watched season 4. I had fun for what it was but I can't helpThis is a review for season 4. I hated season 2. It's clear that the show wasn't meant to continue past season 1 in this way. It was meant for an anthology. I skipped season 3 and watched season 4. I had fun for what it was but I can't help but feel like the standards for good writing have plummetted. Another show came out in 2006 which bore a lot of similarities. Pitching a seasonal anthology format deconstructing a pulp genre with a fantastic, self contained first season. As soon as season 2 hit, everyone turned on it. The writing quality clearly dipped and season 4 did regain some ground but it was too little too late. If that show came out now, people would probably be way more forgiving of it and they absolutely should not be. That show was called Heroes. Stranger Things went down the same trajectory and yet people are letting it slide. Is it nostalgia? Have viewers become so plaquated that they ring the pavlovian bell, for the sake of recognizing something they like? It's all icing and no cake. The amount of contrivances, contorted character actions, poorly set up plot points, dropped subplots, hamfisted themes, terrible moments of dialogue, jarring tonal shifts, deflated payoffs, and retreaded narrative/character beats is honestly embarassing. I would be ashamed if I wrote this. But for some reason people are loving it. This show is poisoning pop culture with this 80s incest. I really enjoyed it on an ironic schlock level, but I feel like the odd one out. Eleven has the exact **** SAME character arc as in season 1. How is this acceptable??? If you are an asipiring writer, just keep in mind that no matter how much your professors jump down your throat for the simplest mistakes, or moments of growth and learning while you write, people were paid to write this show and it got approved. Each episode has a 30 million dollar budget. That is why I am being so hard on this. I expect better for this amount of budget. Just spit in my mouth at this point. It's more honest.… Expand

I don't like this teenage thing, the death of any of the characters wouldn't hurt me, I don't understand how this series is so adored.
