As I said that first 2 seasons are really thrilling and have good story telling. I don't know what happened to that in the 3rd season. In the beginning episodes I thought that it's just warming up and the real story would start soon, but the warm up just continued till the last episode. There is overacting, forced humor, specially with Hopper and Joyce. What were they thinking while sending a little girl through the vent? The kids are really smart.. Fine, but things should be a bit realistic and sensible. It just looked like there was no story at all. They are trying to stretch the Mind Flayor concept too far.
