This is my spoiler review for season 3 of stranger things.
First thing I wanna say is, this was hands down so much better than season 2, although many people believe they just reused the story from season 2, that was not the case. The introduction of the Russians was a really cool new aspect of the show, it provided a look into what's going on outside of Hawkins.
The two standout performances of this season for me were Millie Bobby Brown as El, and Dacre Montgomery as Billy.
Every scene they were in was just amazing, although The mind flayer was possessing Billy all season, it also brought to life the backstory of billy and humanised him, and when he saves el at the end, your wishing that he will live.
This season also was a big season for Eleven as she has developed more as a human being with new relationships, her dialogue, and her fashion. Every fight scene she was in she absolutely blew me away with the acting.
The Russian assassin was a really cool villain with the whole terminator vibe, chasing after Hoppers crew.
The new monster was really interesting aswell, especially when I realised it had taken on the same shape as the mind flayer, I don't think it was the scariest monster, as I think the demogorgon will always be the scariest for me.
David Harbour as Hopper was great as always and I am very sad about his ending, but I'm also holding out hope that maybe just maybe he could be still out there but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
As for the ending I'm not sure how things are gonna go forward with the kids split up again. This time Will and El moving away with Joyce.
And as for the end credit scene, all I can really say is that the 'American' prisoner has to be either Hopper or Brenner. I feel like that has to mean something. And the demogorgon reveal obviously means the Russians have got access to the upside down now and are gonna be able to weaponise it.
I'm still left with many questions.
But the main one is, is the Mind Flayer dead now? Or is he still lingering in the upside down?
I give this season a 9.5/10
Season one is still the best season, but season 3 is my second favourite and although season 2 had a great story and great moments I just prefer the mystery and side stories more in s3
