Critic Reviews for Stranger Things Season 2
All Critics (148) | Top Critics (58) | Fresh (139) | Rotten (9)
Self-aware, 80's nostalgia horror done right.
Stranger Things provides a form of escapism that has nothing to do with alternate dimensions. It invites viewers to indulge in the sweet self-righteousness that can come with getting excluded for being uncool.
A show that was primarily influenced by the Stephens (King and Spielberg) is layering that nostalgia cake with a frosting of James Cameron. Fans are going to eat it up.
With a tighter focus 'Stranger Things' season 2 could have been great - as it stands, we'll have to settle for almost great, and hope the Duffers are planning to make those apparently divergent threads make sense in season 3.
[Stranger Things] continues to be a show with an unmistakable style, a deft hand with mood and setting and especially music, and very clever cinematography.
When Stranger Things 2 digs into these characters, it tends to succeed.
This was a near perfect season and Stranger Things will only get bigger...and stranger.
What this season does so well really is that it manages to not mess with what made Stranger Things so good in the first place.
The women are complex and well-rounded but they remain, unfortunately, in service to the men and boys of the show.
Another compelling season with a story that is even stronger than the first, as the creators did not have to establish and setup the characters.
This second season was entertaining but for me it fell short of that first season.
I don't know how long they can keep the momentum going, but let's hope they can pull off a perfect trilogy next year!

2d agoMust-see. All I can say. With Stranger Things coming back for an action packed new second series and an all new main villan, The Mind Flayer, you immediatly fall in love with it. Great!
-
4d agoDid not expect to like this, but I was hooked from the very beginning. One of the best shows out right now. I'm chomping at the bit for the next season to be released.
-
4d agoI appreciate the attempt to expand this world with some new additional characters. However, it seems other characters from the first season could've been better developed in this season.
-
4d agoWell done it's brilliant
-
5d agoI personally enjoyed the second season as much as I enjoyed the first one. It's more of the same, so it's very good. Excellent writing, solid performance from the actors, interesting cinematography, nostalgia, and another mystery to unravel. If you liked the first season, you'll like this one, too.
