so do we think the American locked up the end by the Russians is anyone of importance? Just finished it. Wondering about this too??? So is there a Season 4 planned? Anyone know? Netflix has a 4th season listed.

The more I read yesterday and thought about how the show ended...it was kind of dumb to wonder if there would be a Season 4...of course there will be. I also just read that the streaming numbers for Stranger Things has been out of this world...excuse the expression.

Oh yes, I saw it and that's why it was kinda dumb to ask if there would be a season 4.

Apparently Evan Rachel Wood is publicly criticizing Hoppers overbearing presence in season 3 toward both Joyce and Eleven.
I really just want to reply to that with ‘It’s almost like they gave the character flaws.’ :/

This may be old news to many, but I only just found out the girl who plays Robin is Uma Thurman & Ethan Hawkes daughter!

I looked her up to see if she’d been in anything because she looked familiar...I hadn’t seen her in anything else tho, but I think she reminded me visually of Becky from Roseanne.

Right! He’s probably the most flawed character in the show...next to maybe Joyce. And it’s not like his possessiveness of either Joyce or Eleven was portrayed as positives.

Normally, I'd be more forgiving if the new season of a TV show uses stories that feel too familiar, because it's hard to constantly come up with new ideas for a TV show. However, the 3rd season has been released 2 years since the 2nd one. With the extra time, surely they could've made something better. Don't get me wrong; I still liked it... just a lot less. I know the whole point is to reference movies from the 80s (although this season alluded movies from the 70s and 90s too), but there's a difference between that and using clichés used in movies (and shows) from different decades. Every episode had moments where I predicted the event/line right before it happened (I made mistakes, but only once or twice). And while there have always been 80s song, I don't remember them in the previous seasons being so on-the-nose. I don't remember a lot of musical montages or scenes coming to a halt just so we could hear the majority of the song. The way ELEVEN spoke is inconsistent. At times, it was like she was still trying to learn; at other times, her delivery and her vocabulary sounded pretty fluent. Her nose has always bled whenever she uses her powers, but this season she was so used to that to the point where her nor anyone acknowledged it anymore. Why not write it so that her handling her powers has caused her to stop bleeding? It just feels weird to see that not-so-pretty image as something nobody (behind or in front of the camera) seems to care about. In fact, this season felt a lot more gory and violent. Not in an inconsistent way... to me at least... but I feel it might upset some fans. The product placement was out of control. You (as a director) don't have to resort to it constantly just because the main setting is a mall. You can film scenes in a way that the brands aren't in the frame. Actually, you (as a writer) could've chosen any other public place and the plot would've been the same. Why a mall? To remind viewers about how cool those places are and encourage them not to abandon them? To reference movies like DAWN OF THE DEAD? It wasn't worth it. -Episode 1: NANCY brings burgers to everyone in the office. She just pulls them out without looking into the bag first and without reading the wraps (in case there were names written on them). How does she know who gets which burger? Also, why are BILLY and MRS. WHEELER flirting in public? I know they're whispering, but their body language and facial expressions must make their intentions very clear to all the swimmers.
-Episode 2: Throughout the season, STEVE makes such a big deal about how girls see him. How even a hat can ruin his image. Yet, here, he has no problem being a complete goofball when saying hello to DUSTIN in front of everyone?
-Episode 3: ELEVEN and MAX write names of pieces of paper and then spin a bottle to randomly choose who to telekinetically spy on. The 1st time it lands on MR. WHEELER and they say "Nah, too boring." Then why did they write the name in the 1st place?!
-Episode 6: If ELEVEN is going through BILLY's memories, why does she only see the big moments from when he was a kid? Did nothing important happen in his life between then and now?
-Episode 8: How can BILLY hear ELEVEN telling him (almost whispering) about his past with all the noise around them? Also, everytime a character's death isn't shown on screen, it means they're alive. HOPPER is totally coming back. Not to mention that we did see some Russian soldiers dying in the same explosion (marking a difference). Also, a show wouldn't kill off 2 main characters in the same scene but in different situations. It would ruin the dramatic impact. BILLY completed his arc; HOPPER still has a long way to go. Hell, he never apologized for threatening MIKE!

The product placement was out of control. This really annoyed me. The only way to watch this show is by paying a subscription for it. It always feels like you're being taken advantage of when you have already paid to see something and then are force-fed product placement ads. Although, in retrospect I only remember the M&Ms, breakfast cereals, Eggos, Slurpees, and Coca Cola.

I dont have a problem with product placement if it fits the narrative, and in Stranger Things I think it does. Yeah you pay 15 bucks a month and get access to thousands of shows. Each of the show cost so much more to make. Netflix itself is still losing money even with their bilion or how many accounts. Making good shows is super expensive. I dont mind they raise money for it by PP. At least it got made and it looks good.

It's like going to Six Flags amusement park, paying a small fortune for parking and entrance to the park, and then being confronted with Home Depot ads all over the place there.

I finished the season on Friday. Totally loved it. The show is virtually perfection! Every episode from episode 4 onward literally had me on my feet at times.
