It really hurts me to write this review but I really don't know what happened with season 3. To me, it looks like Netflix interfered too much and tried to turn a thrilling drama into a teen comedy.

Season 3 is a completely different show. The directing, the WRITING, the pacing, even the music composing is completely different. I had to take a 20 minute break after watching the first episode because I knew something wasn't right. All the suspense and thrill of Season 1/2 is completely gone. With season 3, there is no moments that make me interested in the slightest. 90% of the season is Mileven relation issues, Steve working as a sailor selling ice cream, Hopper trying to be funny, and other weird scenes that seem so out of place. The problem is that these characters weren't funny in the first two seasons, they were unique and charming in their own way. Now Netflix has turned this once exciting show into a comedy that is completely studio written without regards to the characters traits or anything. Hell, the jokes aren't even funny.

From a technical aspects, everything has went down hill as well. The camera work, editing, sound, and acting all don't know what's going on either. It's like they don't know if their doing a thriller drama or a terribly forced cringe comedy.

It really hurt me to watch this season. I didn't enjoy a minute of it. I'd like to talk to the Duffer bros because I know someone got to them because you can tell within 5 mins, this is not their style. That, or the Duffer bros are just trolling us as a way to boycott Netflix or somin. I have no idea but something is up, this is way worse than went GoT and HoC went downhill on their last season! N
