After a somewhat uneventful second episode, Stranger Things pulls the viewer back in with Holly, Jolly, which sees Joyce (Winona Ryder) discovering a way to communicate with her missing son Will, Eleven practising her psychic skills, Nancy making herself a prime target by sleeping with boyfriend Steve (have sex, will die?), and Barb waking up in an alternate dimension and meeting a monster. The episode ends with a cliffhanger: the discovery of a dead child at the quarry, which may or may not be Will.
The pace of the show is still very measured (some might say a tad too slow at times), but the engaging characters, great performances and well-handled suspense keeps one glued to the screen. Looking forward to part four (and seeing what movie posters they manage to sneak into the background; this time around, new additions glimpsed include The Thing and The Evil Dead).
