Summer brings new jobs and budding romance.
But the mood shifts when Dustin's radio picks up a Russian broadcast,
and Will senses something is wrong
The third season ups the ante with a Russian threat and a more complex narrative with parallel subplots plus some good new members of the ensemble (Robin and Erica);as before, highly entertaining.
It's 1984 and the citizens of Hawkins, Indiana are still reeling from
the horrors of the demagorgon and the secrets of Hawkins Lab. Will Byers
has been rescued from the Upside Down but a bigger, sinister entity
still threatens those who survived.
This season holds our interest mainly with its strong cast of characters
with the addition of new ones, especially Max and Kali, but the plot
and "New" mystery is mainly a rehash from season 1.
In 1983 Indiana, a young boy vanishes into thin air, as friends,
family and local police search for answers, they are drawn into an
extraordinary mystery involving top-secret government experiments,
terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl.
Lovingly recreated homage to 80s Spielberg productions convinces with
excellent period details, a great cast of characters and introducing a
very unique and mesmerizing persona with the girl Eleven; the mystery
itself, however, is not really that exciting.
