Reviews for Stranger Things Season 3 have started to hit the web and it looks like another solid entry to Netflix's sci-fi series.

With 25 reviews counted, Stranger Things Season 3 currently sits at a 92 percent on Rotten Tomateos and has officially been certified fresh. The critical consensus reads: "Vibrant and charming, Stranger Things transforms itself into a riveting -- if familiar -- summer ride that basks in its neon-laden nostalgia without losing sight of the rich relationships that make the series so endearing."


Interestingly, the 92 percent is actually the lowest score for all three seasons of the show. Season 1 had a 96 percent with 84 critic ratings, while Season 2 finished with a 94 percent with 144 critic ratings. Comparitively, 25 ratings is a low sample size; but, either way the current 92 percent is a good sign for Netflix and for fans of the series.



There's been a lot of talk about how Season 3 is the darkest in the series and the reviews do seem to reflect that, while also highlighting an "extravagant, exceedingly ambitious adventure spectacle" (ScreenRant) that "delivers an oft-charming, deeper-than-expected, and ultimately enjoyable new chapter" (indieWire).

Stranger Things Season 3 arrives on Netflix this week on July 4.

Metacritic's a better metric for TV imo. That said, I've really dug this show outside of the terrible Eleven0centric episode in season 2

@tmp3 - for being one of the best shows on TV, that was one of the WORST episodes of TV I have seen period.

@tmp3 - season 2 is overall good except for that episode, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

@KurtCrawler @Spidey91 - It's so bad, and outside of being a bad episode of TV with bad acting & writing, it grinds the whole season to a halt. It breaks up the narrative momentum up until that point, especially since it's right in the middle of the season's denouement

Not surprised. The first trailer was one of my favorite trailers of the year. Though I agree with many that say S2 was weaker than S1. Funny how most television shows never suffer from the threequel curse. That seems to be a movie thing only.

Have you guys seen Netflix-Germany's Dark? That shit is crazy! It's like Stranger Things on steroid. The storyline makes Inception, Interstellar, Predestination look like cartoons.
