Thru 5 of the 8 on the first day. Well worth the effort. Lots of storylines to tie up in the final 3.
We are through 5 too. It's great, probably my favorite season so far.

I'm definitely more invested in this one than I was even in the previous 2 seasons. Episode 4 was INTENSE. Hoping to finish it off before the end of the weekend. A little disappointing that there's only 8 episodes but I guess leave them wanting more, right?

Yeah, after fireworks last night, we ordered pizza and watched ep4 at midnight with the kids. Had to stay up with them because they were terrified. Love it!

Best season yet. Ending had the water works going. Daughter and I openly sobbing from our perspectives from the letter. Dang. Loved it.

Finished it Saturday night. Thought this season was the best of the 3 because of the various storylines involved and it included all of the characters instead of just centering on the baby rat pack (the 4 kids). I don't have the same perspective as others so I wasn't as affected by the end as some have mentioned here. The small cliffhanger at the end leaves a nice question for season 4. I thought the casting decisions made in the final episode were rather interesting. One I totally understood, the other was a bit of a surprise. I think I wrote that sentence without any sort of spoiler. I'm sure the discussion will be much better once more people finish.

I liked it, not as much as S1/S2 though. I thought the storylines were a little disjointed and I didn't like
The scenes with Alexei/Murray were brilliant. Seems the majority of the fanbase is in love with Erica - I can't stand her. So forced. Episode 8 was some stressful TV.
Wondering where this is going to go in the next season(s).

I didn't mind them all getting together late in the season, I thought the season progressed as a whole so much better because they all had their own story lines going. It would have been a drag to see them all together without anything to do all season.

Wrapped up season 3. Overall, did it meet expectations? Probably. Could it have been better? Sure.

That's an amazing point. Cars are flying, lights are flickering. Will: "He's here."

Don't forget Will's other line: "NOW can we play D & D?"

I agree with the nitpicks. Hopper and Joyce's bickering was really annoying, imo. And the editing needed tightened up. Jokes lingered too long. The "Neverending Story" sing along was the worst offender. I was cringing. That needed cut in half, at least. A really, really fantastic ending made me able to overlook the faults, but I think the writing was worse this season than 1 and 2. It's getting too big and this season really felt like an 80's movie, with more spectacle than substance in parts. I know that was the point, but I feel like the characters suffered with the influx of new people, bigger set pieces/action sequences, and a more convoluted story. All that said, I can't wait for season 4.

I liked neverending story, hopper and billy. I thought they've done a pretty decent job at somehow making billy likable after how much of a ass he was.
