Don’t get me wrong...


Please don’t misunderstand me, I absolutely LOVE Stranger Things but having just watched the first 2 episodes of S3 I can’t help but wonder - will it get any better ?

It seems a little slow to put it mildly. Or maybe I’m being impatient?

No spoilers please folks.

it does get better and no awful episode like season two's episode seven.
I can't remember the weakest episode of this season, season 3 was so much better than season 2 over all.
After you watch season 3 all the way through, it makes how badly written season 2 stand out even more.

Ok thanks. Yes I totally agree about S2 E7, it was awful!

I'd say the weakest part of Season 3 was the last 10-15 minutes or so. The whole season was good and then BAM!!! It got all depressing/sad pretty dang quick in those last 10-15 minutes of the final episode. I don't need a "and they all lived happily ever after" ending like how Season 2 ended with everyone going to the school dance and the gate being closed and all that, but after going through all that fun throughout Season 3, they could've wrapped up things in a little more positive way. The only positive I saw in the ending was "well at least a good chunk of the characters made it out alive." But that last 10-15 minutes killed the re-watchability of the season for me. I don't think I can re-watch it until like a week or so before Season 4 releases. Something tells me that Season 3 and 4 are one giant season. Just like Season 1 and 2 feel like one giant season and Season 3 was the beginning of a new season. But at least with Season 1's ending it was still overall satisfying and I felt I could re-watch the season again. Didn't feel that way with Season 3. So maybe Season 4 will help make Season 3 more re-watchable.

I don't know. Season 3 was kind of a mess. It had brilliant moments, but was meh overall.
