![]() I finally got to watch season 3 this week. I hope they redeem themselves for the next season. TLDR: All in all I think they went for style over substance for a show which really had both just last season. Paranoid wouldn't have just casually and obviously brought him out in public anyway tbh. Also, why even bother with the drama for Alexei? Even the characters didn't give him a second thought literally minutes later. Show us a few scenes of a hard childhood and then a moment of redemption and it's all okay? Am I meant to forget that he's abusive to his sister and probably a racist? Where'd that go? What wasted potential for development. If you're going to break up the action with something, could it please be meaningful dialogue? We get so little of it, and so many try-hard "memeable" scenes.īilly is the worst case of underdevelopment. Any intensity that is built up is destroyed, like the Dusty and Suzie sing song, or the extended Robyn and Steve drugged up scenes in the middle of the most intense moments. Which would be fine except that all the action is punctuated by total ridiculousness. They all start interesting, and then disappear for the action after a few episodes. But it's all shallow and without thought.Ĭharacter arcs are a mess. Gorey 80s zombie flicks, Russian terminator, aggressive product placement, 80s music scenes. Now it just throws them at you like its a game of dodgeball. The show used to take 80s tropes and play them out in a more modern, innovative way. Like literally just bad lines of dialogue. And so much of the writing has just become cliché. Stuff like 4 teens and a child breaking into a super secret Russian base, walking through a main hub in sailor outfits completely unnoticed was beyond unbelievable. I think the writing has had an overall drop in quality. I was really disappointed by this season. I admit, I liked the last 3 episodes (although there were still some big problems) but the first 5 (which is a whole ton of the show), all your really doing is waiting for the characters to find out what you already know!Īnd although the final episode was mostly good, the ending with the old, "Kill the brain, kill the body" business was SUCH a disappointing ending.Īlright, I gotta take a dump so my rant is now over. WHY!?Īlso, everyone keeps saying season 2 is the slowest, but no, season 3 is totally the slowest. Erica was funny in season 2, and maybe she still kind of is in season 3, but she totally ruined the perfect trio of Steve, Robin and Dustin. Eleven and Max are just straight out annoying. ![]() The season really relies on you already loving the characters, but it makes everyone worse! Hopper? A complete if you ask me. The first and second season were not like this, and yet they felt more real. He's like, "New coke is good, it's like John Carpenter's the Thing!" Like, so forced. The 80's references felt like they had been added in by a twelve year old who was showing off that he knew about new coke even though he never lived in the 80's.
