Call me silly but I’m not enjoying this series as much as the past two.

It’s a bit disappointing.

Watched it. Enjoyed it but was not as good as the first 2 seasons. And judging by the ending in Siberia, there will be a season 4. And the Russian guards said "Not the American", before proceeding to the next cell. This leads me to believe a certain character is still alive.

Finished watching Season 3 as well and, for me, it did not disappoint. Candidly, I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed Season 1 and Season 2. Really is difficult to say which Season is my favorite because they are each so entertaining, and so very well done.

Season 3 makes me so nostalgic for when I was that age, and would hang out at the mall. Stranger Things show truly captures the essence of the eighties.

We're on episode 4. I've had 5 days off from work and surprised at myself that I didn't finish the season in 5 days. In my defense, 4 days were spent in the garage showing some love to the car with adult beverages and loud music. Not a bad way to spend a few days alone.

So far: Hopper got fat, Will looks and acts like he is Frodo from Lord of the Rings and is incredibly annoying, Lucas is STILL annoying (I had the exact same black hat he wears, in this season, when I was little), Dustin is driving me insane but the chemistry between he and Steve works very well, Billy is more likable (not to give spoilers so I'll say "after"). Seems like the show is starting to pick up now. Just wish I had more time to relax and watch a little tv on occasion.

Same. I wasn't disappointed by this season in any way.

The Duffer Brothers are killing it!

OMG the scene where Dustin sings to his girlfriend was killing me. Not as good as the first 2 seasons but we def still enjoyed it.

So i finished it yesterday and didnt bother to work hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. It didnt disappoint but the show didnt get any better after the third episode. There were some moments where the show added some scenes just for the sake of filling the episode's time quota. They were pretty boring and completely useless. Also steve had something going on with the ice cream girl which was nice (she is cute af) but they ruined it completely when she confessed. Funny how they made the situation feel like a breeze to steve's feelings like it didnt even happen and shoving it in our faces telling us we are not a homophobic show.

Excellent season, again! I thought they were going to screw it somehow, but the 80s nerd in me still finds joy watching this show.

Any reason why they needed to introduce an LGBT character to the show? Was the series getting some bad press?

I didn't see it as introducing a gay character, I saw it as him coming to terms with being an asshole in school and assuming this girl was confessing she liked him before doing a 180. I saw it as more a comedic scene.

***SPOILER***

I think she saying she was obsessed with him was a clear indication that she was into him before.

Good show.
I am so glad I never dressed like that in the 80s or listened to that crap music from the soundtrack.

More along the lines of Soul Asylum...lol

Meh. They'd known each other for, what, less than a summer? They'd never even been on a date - how broken up do you expect him to be?

No, her obsession with him was centered around the fact that the girl (Tammy Thompson) she wanted was goo-goo over Steve. She was obsessed with Steve because she wanted to be Steve (in a manner of speaking), not because she wanted to be with Steve.
