StrangerThings4 is a more compelling mystery and heralds the arrival of a version of the show that's both more mature and more chilling. Our review:
During the third episode of Stranger Things’ upcoming fourth season, as the now much taller teenage heroes of Netflix’s sci-fi/horror mega-hit try to solve the latest dark mystery plaguing their small Indiana town, cool but aloof skateboarder Max makes a solemn observation. “All we know is that this is something different,” she says. “Something new.” To Max’s credit, she’s at least partly right.
But with that said, the new season maybe isn't quite as different as Max or show creators the Duffer Brothers would likely have us believe. It still deftly balances spook-show plotting with smaller coming-of-age stories filled with puppy love and teen angst.
Of these plot lines, it’s the Hawkins group that is the most fun to watch, in large part because it happens to feature the show’s most entertaining characters. Joe Keery’s Steve remains as endearing as ever – a noble lunkhead with a heart of gold. Maya Hawke, who mostly stole the show as the newly added Robin in Season 3, has no interest in giving it back this year.
The show is as well-crafted as always. The premiere episode builds to both a basketball championship and an epic Dungeons & Dragons game, and then cuts back and forth between the two in a way that’s so smooth and thrilling that it reminds you why Stranger Things remains one of TV’s most satisfying and most popular shows.
