A Fantastic Season!

Thank you Duffer Brothers for creating this unique world to let us lose ourselves in for a time. There are so many reasons I am impressed with Stranger Things. It is the perfect balance of innocence (great job of progressing the main characters into their teen years), strength, comedy and drama. It absolutely was not the same ol/same ol science fiction story. From the initial decision to place Hawkins in the early to mid 80's (with plenty of memory lane quick references for older audience), combined with some brilliant kids, yet with the ordinary issues of growing up. A terrifying monster, world power conflicts and the always fascinating problems Eleven lives with daily learning to live with her special powers, yet try to have as much of a normal life as possible. Some have dissed what I considered a tender moment between Dustin and his really real Suzie duet. These are young teens in love and that totally was a situation that was within the realm of "this could happen". The tiny door left open during the credits both in the bad world (the wall was not totally closed) and emotionally (did Hopper really die?) are great cliffhangers. Overall I was very pleased with Season 3, as I have been with Season 1 and 2. Please don't make us wait 2 whole years for season 4!! Kudos for a job Very Well Done to all involved!!
