Chapter Three: Holly Jolly does a great job expanding more on the first two episodes. I mean, it kept me hooked the moment I started watching the show on Netflix.
It showed what happened to Barbara after the end of the previous episode and her death was so sad it made me feel sorry for her. Because Chapter One and Two showed the characterization of her. She started out as a nerdy classmate and a misfit in society before she got killed by the monster, which is the only reason why the show gained a fanbase. Kudos to the producers for making us sympathize with her.
Also, the story and writing are even stronger. It expands more on the first two episodes and gives out some more character depth to not only Eleven (El), but Joyce Byers as well. Joyce starts to hear Will trying to communicate with her and she uses the Christmas lights to communicate with him as well it makes you feel for her and her son too. Even the interaction between Eleven and Mike is great. Not only that. The actors range of emotions you feel in the beginning and end of the episode gives you goosebumps which is the only reason why the third episode is a definition of why the first season has been keeping me hooked so far.
The actors continue to deliver excellent performances. Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Winona Ryder, and Natalie Dyer along with the other actors impressed me with their range of emotions like I said before and the script is superb while the music score continues to compliment the 1980s setting and year perfectly.
Overall, Chapter Three: Holly Jolly is a classic episode and a definition of how an episode of the first season kept me hooked when I started watching Stranger Things. Thumbs up from me. :)
