4/5
The Duffer brothers promised a darker version of Stranger Things now that the kids are a little older (we find them in March 1986, first-year students in high school) and, buddies, they aren't lying. Go to Full Review Lissete Lanuza Sáenz CBR 06/01/2022
Stranger Things Season 4, Vol. 1 is jam-packed with everything fans love about the show, but still has a surprise or two up its sleeve. Go to Full Review Jaby Koay GET Jaby 05/31/2022
Very creative with drawing you in. It feels like a move…. It's just character development, like low budget horror and then things go awry in a bad bad way. Go to Full Review Achara Kirk GET Jaby 05/31/2022
Did a really great job at just balancing the really normal teenage things and then juxtaposing that with the horror elements. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch Processed Media 05/28/2022

It's hard to expect much more out of "The Hellfire Club" than a whole lot of catching up; but the sadness hanging over everyone in Stranger Things' premiere is palpable, something more than mood for mood's sake. Go to Full Review Hayden Mears Starburst 05/27/2022
3/5
It's overlong, meandering, and frustratingly uneven in crucial places... But the core of what made it all work in the first place- the humour, heart, the humanity of a bunch of young people trying to find their way and save the world- is very much intact. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
