StrangerThings hits Netflix in less than a week. Read our review here:
, an actor dogged by nostalgic fascination not unlike Ryder, taps in as the town’s slimy mayor and perpetual Hopper adversary. Hopper himself is gritting his teeth while Eleven, now officially dating Mike , tests his patience and “keep the door three inches open at all costs” rule. in season 3…well, it’s almost impossible to say. Literally.
The summer 1984 setting also emphasizes time has irrefutably passed, and season 3 does interesting work as it grapples with that fact. For one: Will , traumatized from his time in the Upside Down and always the group’s most tender member, tries to slow his friends down as they obsess over girls. Steve tries to find his place in the world outside a high school hierarchy, challenged all the while by his unimpressed coworker, Robin .
Three seasons deep, “Stranger Things” is also more comfortable leaning into character combinations that have proved successful in the past — like the enthusiastic odd couple pairing of Steve and Matarazzo’s Dustin — in order to break up the action into separate stories that eventually converge. Before their inevitable final reunion, the core cast is split into four factions with varying degrees of success.
Beyond that, there’s not much more I can say without incurring the wrath of Netflix’s Spoiler Upside Down. But rest assured: if I went into season 3 wondering how long “Stranger Things” can possibly keep this up, I left it assured that as long as the series keeps pushing beyond what initially made it work, it will have more story left in the tank yet.
