Just check out the trailer for the first season here:
The first season of the show was groundbreaking. It was a perfect combination of mystery with an 80s spin. The show really did look like something that was produced before its time and had a great script that kept everyone guessing for the entire time. It was truly an enjoyable watch.
After the first season premiered, everyone sat patiently and waited for season two to premiere. Season two premiered on October 27th, 2017 and everyone ran to watch it. But as soon as they watched at least two of the episodes- almost everyone with high standards became instantly disappointed.
The main problem with the script and storyline was that Stranger Things thought it was bigger than it was. It played on everything the fans wanted and left so many details out to create an extremely confusing plotline that didn’t follow a central theme. For example, with the absence of the main female character Eleven, they place another girl into the mix- named Max and she does absolutely nothing to add to the story to the point where I’m unsure why she’s there- also why did she have a beyond creepy relationship with her brother? Then they were extremely corny and placed jokes that fans would want in there and really played up the romance between Eleven and Mike when it really wasn’t that highlighted in the first season. Then episode eight is where I lost it- eleven and her sidekick friends including eight, nine and ten team up for God knows what reason. The acting couldn’t even save this scene. The show basically just got cocky with their level of fame that they forgot to actually make a show.
But a few days ago, season three of Stranger Things has been making a lot of buzz- I don’t even know how it got approved again. The release date hasn’t been confirmed yet but filming will be starting around mid-April. The fans expect for the show to be released sometime in 2019. Season three will take place one year from the previous finale. All of season two’s main cast will be coming back.
So what will the season be about?
I have no idea, but I won’t be watching it. It seems like this show got caught up in its level of fame and completely lost their original touch. I expect bad writing, bad acting and product placements (hello Eggo Waffles & KFC). I couldn’t imagine anyone enjoying season two and definitely not enough to watch another season. Hopefully, the writers know they are under fire and will take that into consideration for the next season.
