He's funny for sure, but overall I was waiting for it to be over. Some compelling characters but not a compelling story line. Just when I thought they were going to wrap it up, they went all in on it.

I'm very late on this show started recently. Was out yesterday at home so i binge watched finished season two and started season 3. So far I'm not nearly as fond of season 3 as the first 2 I don't really like the story lines about the guys with their girlfriends, and I don't like the character Billy at all although I guess now it's obvious why he's there.

I do like Max which I understand is a minority opinion I've read lots of fans don't like her on the show.

I thought it was solid through six episodes and then it just went gonzo bananas awesome in the final two episodes. best season of show as far as I'm concerned.

This is good to hear because so far I was not liking season 3 so it's good to know it gets better soon

Season 3 is a very low point for the show. I almost skipped S4 due to it until I started hearing all of the reports that they righted the ship. I'm of the opinion that it can be skipped without loosing anything but I think I'm in the minority around here on that opinion.

Season 4 is back to S1 quality. So you're almost back to the good stuff. :)

Interesting. Season 3 was so long ago, but Max is pretty beloved by end of Season 4.

I looked at some fansite and people really didn't like her when she first joined the show they thought she was a bad "replacement" for 11. I like the character because I thought it was absolutely perfect for this group of "nerds" that they befriend a girl who rides a skateboard and beats all their videogame scores.

Speaking of Stranger Things, I really hope this doesn't be a norm at all. I don't want to have to think about "patches" for TV shows and movies. We don't need them turning into what happened with video games. I want to watch it when it comes out, not 4 months down the line after it's been patched to make it watchable.

Finished season 3 and it definitely got better as it went along.

I got a friend hooked on the show I was in Season 2 when she started, she's now ahead of me into Season 4.

I liked that they "redeemed" Billy I hated the character and the actor but it ended well for him.

one episode left of Season 4. I kind of guessed the twist on Vecna, not entirely but I kind of figured it was something like that. But a friend of mine has finished the season and she says the finale will still surprise me that what I think is going on is only partly right not entirely.

And now I finally understand why Kate Bush Running up that Hill has been trending online for weeks.

I really hope the Duffer brothers do this last season justice.
