One is really not as good as the other. If the first one had signs of a divine drama, then the second season completely extinguished this sign, and the third season poured a basin of ice water.
Originally, the world view of the upside down can be very grand, but since the second season, it has become a simple story of three generations teaming up to fight monsters. The third season directly abandoned the discussion of the upside down. Keep fast-forwarding while watching the last fight. This approach has made "Stranger Things" farther and farther away from the grand drama of the world, and it has become a model drama in which two low-level monsters and a bunch of teenagers save the world.
The setting for this season is also unreasonable. I don't mind that the screenwriter insists on introducing a Cold War plot in the 1980s, and by designing the mutiny of Soviet scientists to highlight the freedom and beauty of American imperialism and the happiness of the people, but can it be more reasonable? Could the Soviet Union build such a large underground fort in the hinterland of Indiana? If the Soviet Union has this ability, it still needs to open the door to another world to deal with the enemy? Is it okay to just empty the White House? Soldiers can go out to arrest people without evading suspicion and speak Russian in the crowd? Can a Soviet plainclothes soldier threaten a small town mayor into collusion? wtf?
At the same time, the emotional line is also a slot. This drama is called Stranger Things, not Love Things. It is really boring to add emotional scenes in order to add emotional scenes, and the feelings are also very blunt.
If there is any advantage to this show, I can only say that I like the nostalgic style of the 80s of starcourt, and the rest is really hard to describe.
And a fourth season? I can only hope that the screenwriter will wake up and not waste such good acting skills of the little actors (oh, it seems that they have grown into big actors now)
PS In the past, a group of children could still find it cute when they were making noises, but now it is really embarrassing that two adults are still making noises with a circle of young people. And the black brothers and sisters I really can't like at all...
