What critics are saying about Stranger Things season 4
Miscellaneous / / May 23, 2022
Without spoilers, of course.
On May 27, the first part of the fourth season of Stranger Things premieres on Netflix. It has 7 episodes, which have become the longest in the history of the project: the timing is 62-98 minutes, depending on the episode. Foreign critics have already seen them and shared their opinion in the first reviews. We chose the main thing from the leading publications.
1. “If you liked Stranger Things before, you will love this season. Shows built according to the formula work well when the formula is so high-quality, ” Independent
2. “Even though each episode is over an hour long and the episodes are packed full of action, it feels like the writers are running the same thing in circles.” Polygon
3. “The viewer has to follow too many characters, but it is quite realistic once the four main storylines of this season are established. The problem is that almost every plot (with the exception of Eleven continuing to investigate his origin story) becomes less compelling the farther away from Hawkins. Variety
4. “Children have become one of the main problems of the season. They've all grown far beyond the timeline of the story, and it could be argued that puberty has become just as bad for the show as the monsters from the Upside Down. But it's not that young actors have grown terribly or have become worse at acting. The problem is that the writers have not opened up new strengths for them, so they are forced to do the same thing, ” The Hollywood Reporter
5. “This is the most ambitious season ever, and although it sometimes feels like it sags under the weight of that ambition, everything works as it should. The acting is top notch and even the special effects are better. Not all of the storylines in these very long episodes work perfectly, but none of them seem worth the time. You have to wait for the second part to make a final verdict, but the first one was definitely worth the wait, ” IGN
