According to Rotten Tomatoes, the critics think that the third season of the show "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." However, not everyone thinks the popular TV show was that good. "Instead of reminding us of what we have lost, the show gets caught up in the kind of patriotic fantasies that adults love so much, things like romance and defeating communism in a mall with fireworks on the fourth of July," Aaron Bady wrote.
They did my boy Alexei wrong. He deserved his own spin-off web series.
Shawn Levy, the exec producer of the show, sees each new set of episodes as "basically an eight-hour movie." According to Levy, season 3 is their most comedic and pop-y season yet, but it’s also their most cinematic and epic season. "It opens in the summer of ’85, filled with the idyllic nature of summer and adolescence in the ’80s, the fun of mall culture and young love, a world of innocence and promise. But as new threats are revealed — and there’s more than one in season 3, both supernatural and human — the season takes a turn toward darkness. And it is far creepier than anything we’ve done yet. It gets an epic scale in terms of action and emotion. By the end of Episode 8, it’s like a gut punch to the heart. I know I’m mixing metaphors with two body parts, but it’s a deeply emotional ending to the season," the filmmaker told Variety.
Each season I like this character even more! Hope he survives the final season
To make us all more hopeful, there was also that phone number that David Harbor gave that when called has the message of Murray calling Joyce saying " I have an update. It's about, well, it's probably best if we speak in person. It's not good or bad, but it's something. " I think that hints even more that the American in the Russian Prison is Hopper.

Super thinking Hopper is alive for the following reasons: "As they’re loading up the truck and Hopper’s speech nears its end, a certain song starts playing. “Heroes” by David Bowie . To a lot of people this may not mean much in the context of the show but for me, and probably others like me who have watched the show in its entirety countless times, it brings me back to Season 1. At the end of Season 1, Chapter Three: Holly, Jolly, Will’s body is found in the quarry (or so we were lead to believe) and what song plays as we see this unfold? “Heroes” by David Bowie. I can’t think of any reason that they would have picked that song, given the countless songs perfect for that situation, other than them subtly calling back to another time where we were told a character was dead when they weren’t." AND “Leave the door open 3 inches.” The gate still had light peeking through~ Hopper is in the upside down and the Russians have Dr Brenner which is how they knew to go to Hawkins for the gate.
Wasn't really surprised at this line. I mean, they could make it to mean anyone, but we all pretty much figure it's Hopper in there
who's the american, they never said.... probably in season 4
I am sure Steve will still be there working and serving ice cream in his chips ahoy outfit.
I know!! I'm so sad that he literally only said these two things the entire season.
before this season, i had no idea how many different kinds of synth music there were
I laughed, then wondered what Gaten Matarazzo would think of this himself if he saw it. I hope he doesn't see it.
Is this for REAL? That kid on left looks very SLIM. I don't know man this comparison looks very SHADY.
My only complaint with season 3 is that Will's role was pointless. Other than that, it was a great season!
Am I the only one here who found this season awesome? (Assuming Hopper is alive)
I thought it was ok, but I really had trouble with the whole 'let's stop the action for ten minutes with 2 characters having a sudden heart to heart' . And as for the whole Neverending Story...WHAAAAAT?
I died laughing! Especially when they were in the car listening and the thing was chasing them.

They're probably planning season four just for all the plot content they couldn't make fit around the coke commercials in season 3.
I was hoping I wasn't the only one who thought exactly that. It was cringy all the way through, the only thing that I was impressed by - was the Russian. The story made no sense, it was completely unrealistic - how could Russians just build a MASSIVE underground base and no one noticed it?? Children outrunning armed guards? Honestly. All character development went completely out the window. I barely made it through the season.
