I remember watching the first season when it had just been released. It was fantastic. It had an interesting and myserious premise and i remember finding it quite scary at times. It was eerie and tense - we werent quite sure what was happening but it certainly was strange as the title suggests. The characters chemistry was fun and believeable. The ending to the season could have been better but overall pretty enjoyable. It became one of my favourite TV shows.

Unfortunately, it seems like a lightening strike once kind of show. Throughout the series the cast has been great! Its just that everything else hasnt. Although it keeps its 80s aesthetic what is really needed to uphold a series is a story. The first season didnt entirely clear this up for us - and neither did the following two. We are at the end of season 3 and honestly i dont know what the show is about anymore. Also, the same formula is being carried out. Step 1 we see a new threat, Step two split up and work in teams, step 3 all come back together to defeat evil monster. Its sad to say this series got tired quickly.

Side note - Every film i have seen since this series release that contains a young cast gets compared to stranger things. Guys, ST did not invent the 80s. Nor did it invent kid adventure films. Give it a rest eh?

As an optomist im hoping season 4 can bring this series back around and i would really welcome it. Fingers crossed.
