Just finished watching the volume 1 of season 4 of stranger things and I had a blast watching it. 2 times darker, scarier, bloodier than the previous 3 seasons

The production value this season went to another level. Each and every episode clocked more than an hour long (75 minutes on an average), but all of them were so gripping. The BGM was intense, and I became a fan of one song called "Running up that hill" by Kate Bush.

Episode 7 ( The Massacre at Hawkins Lab) and 4 (Dear Billy) are the longest but are the best of the lot. You'll be on the edge of your seat while watching these two episodes

Now, onto the storylines. Without a doubt, the Hawkins storyline was the darkest and scariest. The California storyline seemed forced at once but picked up steam from episode 3. Hopper's storyline had no connection with the main story but contained all the action part of part 1. Eleven's storyline became very interesting as many secrets from the past were revealed in her storyline

Like always, Millie Bobby brown is given the most screentime and she shines in the role yet again. Sadie sink too got to perform really well as she was also given more screentime as compared to the previous seasons she was in. Winona Ryder and David Harbour are completely sidelined, still they do their job in the limited screen time provided to them

It's a delight to watch the chemistry of Gaten Matarazzo and Joe Keery and they handled the comic part well as always. Caleb's character needed more meat and could be written more well this season. Matthew Modine is amazing. Natalia Dyer and Maya Hawke's chemistry works well. As for the new entrants this season, Jamie Campbell Bower just owns every scene he is in (I can't reveal his identity otherwise it will be a spoiler), Joseph Quinn registers an impact as Eddie Munson, leader of the hellfire club followed by Mason Dye as the devastated Jason Carver.

Final word- If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favour and watch it and get hyped for VOLUME 2 like the rest!!!
