Critics Consensus

Stranger Things transforms itself into a riveting -- if familiar -- summer ride that basks in its neon-laden nostalgia without losing sight of the rich relationships that make the series so endearing.

It isn't the psychokinetic powers that make Stranger Things watchable, it's the suffocating mindlessness of the lovingly recreated small-town landscape.

Even while some things go a bit too predictably, the last two episodes tie everything and everyone together in spectacular, emotional fashion.

3/5

The series has a brazen dedication to its influences; it is curated with wide-eyed delight, which matches the young central characters, who despite two go-arounds with a beast from another dimension still sally forth every day with cheerful abandon.

4/5

If Stranger Things' first season was sci-fi horror and Season 2 verged on a John Hughes-style teen romcom, this third season is something new: an '80s-style heist, with Russians, no less.

3.5/5

I just wish a little more energy was spent on the mystery and suspense; the science-fiction and the conspiracies. In other words, I wish it would get back to its Season 1 roots.

Stranger Things 3 is an extraordinary coming-of-age story (...). The newest season touches on many different subjects: growing up, the evolution of pop culture, and even sexism in the workplace.

It was good, with a lot of plot and fun supporting characters, but it was a little too gory for me. But I'd still recommend it.

My favorite season so far.

This season was so corny and stupid and the Russian side plot didn’t need to be in there at all. I guess it wasn’t bad or anything it was just a huge downgrade from the previous seasons.

@Rocco_Nunz Feb 4

Though visually stunning, this season of Stranger Things leans too much into 1980s stereotypes and exaggerated storylines. Also, where did the Russians come from?
