The press praises the quality of season 4 of Stranger Things
“Stranger Things has significantly enhanced its mythology to complicate its stories beyond its original limits. She also scattered her characters all over the place to the point that it became increasingly difficult to keep track of them all.” provides the media.
On the editorial side of Inverse, we rent the structure of this season 4 “remarkably narrated and well paced”, adding that the tone is now much more mature. At Entertainment Weekly, we appreciate the fact that this season brilliantly introduces new charactersnew highlights and above all finally brings “important answers on the Upside Down”.
On this point, the Duffer Brothers, the creators of the series, have just promised fans that this season 4 will clear up many mysteries. Obviously, they kept their word. On ComicBook.com, Patrick Cavanaugh pays tribute to the horrific atmosphere of the showback to her best form.
Before getting carried away, however, note that the vast majority of critics agree on one negative point: the length of the episodes. In effect, it is not uncommon for some episodes to easily exceed 1h or 1h30, which can sometimes affect the overall pace of the series. Unfortunately, it will have to be done with since the Duffer brothers have confirmed that certain episodes will be as long as films.
