Stranger Things Season 3 Episode 2 Review

The good thing about this series is that it invests us in its characters than just the strange things happening. We don't have to be able to fear every episode to be into a horror series but the story needs to be investing enough.

This time, in the third season, the malls and the 80's theme are too over-the-top and characters involve us more than the story. The creators try to deliver more on the comedy than on the thrills.

It just gets too much to take once the flow is hindered by the jokes too much. We get a feel that nothing substantial is ever going to happen here. Also, it doesn't just deliver on the intrigue factor either. It just makes it easy to skip ahead and see the complete episode.

Just in the last minutes, we see something substantial and that doesn't add up so much to the story but just pushes the storyline a little bit for us to sit through the episode 3.

It is hard to pack every episode, I get it but the problem is that the season 1 has been so good that we want the markers to go for such solid season than gradually building the momentum like they did in season 2.

Once again kids, Micheal to be exact, runs the show while it keeps jumping on to the Russians line too much and too many times. The Duffer brothers need to be a little more invested in making entire season interesting than just moments from next season, at least.
