**AVERAGE AT BEST** This show is average at best. I wouldn't recommend it to adults. It's more suited for kids and teenagers. For me as an adult this show was boring and not serious at all. Propaganda is not very blatant here and kinda hidden, but it's still there and especially visible in 5th season. Attentive eye will catch it.
**Season 3 - SPOILER-FREE Review** If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog @ https://www.msbreviews.com Stranger Things first appeared in our lives back in 2016 with its phenomenal first season, followed by a less amazing yet still entertaining Season 2. I was pretty excited for the third adventure with one of the best (if not the best) young ensemble casts ever.…
I came to the latest season of Stranger Things with real reservations. I felt the last season was simply a recycling of what had gone before and wondered, if this wasn't another case of, "rinse and repeat." Well, thankfully, that's not the case. The latest season adds new material and fleshes out the overall back story. Its suitably creepy too, with yet more 80's style nostalgia and one of my …
I don't remember Africa being that popular in the 80s... do you? I mean, those of you who are old enough to actually remember the 80s. It was a hit, I remember that. I remember my mom liked it... my MOTHER liked it, which is sort of the population that Toto catered to, but I don't remember Africa having that much play on any station that anyone openly listened to until... what 2014 when Family…
Intelligent and witty with a perfect seasoning of 80’s references.

**Could have been a Geek's Favorite Movie** I really wanted to like Stranger Things more. As a fan of DND, I had high hopes for what this show would be able to offer. While the plots were well written, I found the pacing to be erratic which made it hard to stay interested. Often times, I found myself confused by th jovial interactions in the midst of deeply traumatic scenes. While these moments …

Actuallly a rather poor series. It has a lot of very original thought and some great special efffects, but the stupidity of so much of it is just too hard to swallow - one simple example: at one point when the players are down in an undergorund lab with what they say are totally impenetrabal pollycarbinate windows that the creatures cannot possibly break through, well, they do break them, but a …
**Give the production crew a raise, but please, PLEASE give the characters an action that isn’t just “pacing” whenever they’re stressed or thinking about something…** **LIKE:** Sound editing is chef’s kisssss — every knock, every kettle boiling, every hand slamming on a table. Regular sounds being larger than life really added to the sense of suspense this show needed to keep it spooky and ex…
