They are already here! The first reviews of Stranger Things 4the end of the series Netflixhave come to light. Although it is only the first part, since there will be a kind of trilogy to close the story, this marks the end of a program that marked a before and after for television. Now thanks to ScreenRanthere we bring you what the specialized press says about the fourth season.
BBC
“Throughout these first few episodes of Stranger Things 4, the threads and stories from the previous seasons come together. Finally, they give fans some answers to long-standing questions about what the hell is going on in our world. It can be a long task for the duration of the episodes. But the fast pacing, wild plot twists, and big comedic moments cut it short. The 30 million invested are noticeable. The effects are impressive and the sets are really elaborate time capsules.”
Empire Magazine
“Though it feels overcrowded at times, what remains is the compelling comfort and charisma of its universe. Photography is clean and colorful. Long Scooby-Doo-esque mysteries make Hawkins a fun place to hang out, even with all those monsters. Stranger Things 4 has reached a higher level with an additional cinematic flair. In addition, they have linked such timely topics as the satanic panic, the aftermath of Vietnam, and the rise of hostility during the Cold War period.”
IGN
“The first part of Stranger Things 4 sets up its most ambitious season to date. Despite some moments where you can feel the downturn, it works in general terms. The performances, especially those from David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown and Sadie Sink, are top notch. The new villain, Vecna, is appropriately terrifying. And there are some superb special effects. Not all of the plots in these extra-long episodes work as well, but none of them feel like a waste of time.”
Variety
“With all the characters out there, Stranger Things 4 had a lot of work ahead of it. For the most part, he’s managed to keep everything going and at a steady enough pace, once he establishes the four subplots that end up defining the first part of the season. The problem is that almost all of the plots, with the exception of Eleven’s origin, become less compelling the further away they get from Hawkins.”
The Hollywood Reporter
“Stranger Things 4 is the biggest, scariest and most ambitious season of the series yet. It’s also the least charming, least funny, and least witty season of the show. That does not mean that the elements fail. Simply, the effort to focus on moments of human identification is often overwhelmed by attempts to scale the pace.”
TVLine
“Overall, unless for some reason you’re itching for them to reinvent the wheel, you’re going to love Stranger Things 4. It’s suspenseful, exciting, fun and terrifying like hell itself.”
polygonal
“The protagonists of Stranger Things 4 have been grouped together haphazardly and in ways that could theoretically make sense, but fail once they are united. For every fun and exciting element that comes along, there is an overwhelming pile of gray and hard work to go through. There are some glimmers of hope in the midst of all this mush. Some good dice rolls help a party with horrible stats survive. But overall, the terrible calibration of that party has meant that all the good times are few and far between.”
Telegraph
“Is this too much? Not even remotely. Stranger Things 4 is an ’80s American theme park and it’s much better when you accept that it is. A note of caution to parents: Vecna’s method of dispatching her victims is genuinely horrible.”
