Here's my review of Stranger Things season 3. It's summer in Hawkins and it's been a while since the events of season 2 happened. The kids have all grown up , but look the same until you see montages from the previous seasons. Remember when we all thought Avengers Endgame was going to be dark and brooding ? but unlike infinity war it turned out to be a fun heist movie depsite the high stakes involved , that's exactly what this season is too. First of all the production quality is just amazing in this season , especially the set of starcourt mall . As for the characters , they're loveable as always , new additions like Lucas' sister and Robin were great ! Just like in Scooby Doo and the previous seasons of Stranger things , different groups follow different breadcrumbs which are all part of the same loaf. But unlike the previous seasons , this season has an unlikely alliance , like Steve , Dustin , Lucas' sister and Robin , they had the best chemistry compared to the rest of the gang. I also liked Hoppers character this season than from earlier . The only gripes I had with this season was the friendship between Eleven and Max , that didn't work for me at all and also till the fourth episode , I felt the stakes didn't feel high compared to the first two seasons , like for some reason you just know that the person in danger is going to get rescued. But those are just minor nitpicks and personally I thought this season of stranger things was amazing as always and had better phasing than season 2. In the end season 3 is fun , it's vibrant , has a lot of cry worthy emotion , brilliant acting , 80s nostalgia , 80s pop culture and has pg13 Stephen king at its best .
