Except that Eleven episode...
Baba O'Riley was a weird choice for this. Don't get me wrong, this version kills, but it doesn't scream mid-late 80s.

Yeah, could be one of the reasons they went back to 8 episodes. It worked theme-wise, but yeah it's also from 71, much different time. Since S3 is taking place in 1985, I'm sure Tears for Fears and Simple Minds will be in the soundtrack.

Saw it, liked it, season 1 is still the best though, but much better than season 2.
Subplot 1 Dustin, Steve, Robin and Erica is the best part of the season. Though Erica is annoying as fuck at times. Robin fits in really well, she has great chemistry with Steve and Dustin. The whole group works.
Hopper? What can you say? Fist half I didn't like my second favorite character as much, as he was to much of an over the top cliche. They needed him dialed up to a 7, they went to 10. Second half he settles in. It's his season though and he has his moments.
Billy. Billy has a strong season.
Nancy and Jonathan. Useless and more useless. These two are where chemistry goes to die.
The scoobies? The group lacks without Dustin, Will can't fill his shoes, and the boys are almost an after thought this season.
Eleven and Mike. I get no romantic vibes at all, it was cute when they were younger but it doesn't work at all. Mike is annoying as hell this season. You can be annoying and still enjoyable, but in this case he is not enjoyable to watch. The love story seems forced. And speaking of love story.
Max seems single. Her and Eleven form a decent friendship. But not on par with Robin and Steve, or Dustin and Steve.
This show did a lot of rinse and repeat from the last two seasons. It made it to predictable at times.
The cliches don't work well at all for the Duffers but the outside the box relationships seem to do well. Joyce and Bob, Steve and Dustin, Dustin and Erica, Robin and Steve, Hopper and Eleven, and strangly enough Billy and Eleven. Though not a friendship how they relate is the key to a lot of tension.
Side note I thought the guys at the newspaper were just way too cartoonish. The non stop evil laughing got annoying after awhile and the mayor. A little to much sitcom with some of the characters. The 80's had a lot of sitcoms, but Stranger Things isn't one, so you can homage those a little less and keep the characters grounded in there relatability that made the show a hit. Also the show seems to know the kids have aged. It's clear they have aged, they boys are all a foot taller. Part of that growth happens during the season. Including the last scene where everyone is suddenly taller than Joyce. Which is fine, kids grow, and they are suppose to be older. So for the love of God while they are nerds, can you not dress them like 10 year olds and get Will and Mike some haircuts for teenagers. They don't have to be Steve but the little Dutch boy cut went out with the little Dutch boy.
The show still has all its charm and nostalgia, though I miss the kids all being together. There is one particular nostalgia bomb that had me laughing. You will know it when it happens cause it comes out of left field and hits you in the face unabashedly and fully embraces the moment.
Hope you all had a happy 4th.

I loved it. Got a little choked up at the end during the letter reading scene.
I wish another show that recently ended that I devoted almost a decade of my life to would have made me feel even half as much...

I loved it, too. It's hard for me to rank the seasons individually, because I really love all of them pretty much equally, but this one definitely had some of the best moments and character interactions of the entire show. It was also the straight up scariest season so far. I mean, it's not like they have avoided showing gore and body horror in the past, but this was next level stuff. Some of it legit made me feel a bit sick. Robin was a great addition to the show, she had such great chemistry with Steve, Dustin and Erica. That entire storyline in general was just pure gold, so much great and hilarious dialogue. The Neverending Story moment in the last episode fucking killed me. So, can we assume that Hopper is still alive? I feel like him being "the American" in the Russian prison at the end would be a bit too obvious and will probably turn out to be a red herring, but I genuinely do not believe he's actually dead. Perhaps he is trapped in the Upside Down and will manage to contact Eleven once she gets her powers back, and season 4 will revolve around getting him out?
I think I would also be okay with Hopper staying dead though, Eleven reading his note at the end made me super emotional and really felt like a nice send-off to the character. But my gut tells me that he's coming back.

I really love this show, it's so fun and charming, characters are great, but I feel like they are doing the same plot every season. Still love it, but there is feeling that they have nothing more to offer. In terms of plot. When it comes to characters I feel like the show just started. Favorite new character - Erica lol. I know she isn't new, but this season she got bigger role.
I hope character that died at the end of S3 stays dead. I know the actor is Emmy nominated and I'm sure Netflix doesn't want to lose him, but still it was the perfect ending for him and I hope he won't come back.
PS russians were really strange addition. I guess the point is that they are parodies, but it didn't work for me at all
