Stranger Things 3x1, 3x2, 3x3 Full Reactions
Added 2022-07-05 22:59:40 +0000 UTCsooo i didn't fully know how to feel after the first two episodes. Didn't know what the show was trying to be. But they brought it together in the 3rd episode SO well.
Also, custom request videos being uploaded over the next two days, for anyone that missed the message! Have a great night!! (Or day depending on your time zone 😊)
ALSO. Rats (& heights) are my two biggest life terrors & I feel VIOLENTLY assaulted

I love how you already mentioned Hot Fuzz in the first episode because YES. Every season has a different vibe and style (which actually also often works well for the season it is set in) and this one is very much similar to the style associated with Edgar Wright and other directors (which is one of the reasons I love this season)

2023-03-05 23:44:44 +0000 UTCI know the first two episodes may feel lackluster and different but I enjoy them because it’s nice to kinda see them all in more normal settings and situations 😊

2022-07-11 00:23:17 +0000 UTCI told myself I'd only watch Stranger Things with you for whatever reason but now it's really hard because I'm in love with Joseph Quinn so not to rush you at all but let's get to season 4 pls kwhdkwjd

2022-07-10 21:12:31 +0000 UTCWhen it comes to the first 2 episodes, it's important to set up a lighthearted tone before diving into the dark upside down-y stuff. I can see why you didn't enjoy it as much, but I think the show would suffer if it was always bleak and dark. I loved the cheesy 80's retro mall scenes and shopping montages lol

2022-07-08 03:52:10 +0000 UTCI think my favorite thing about Hopper as a character is what you said: He goes from being a stumbling douche to being well-worded and thoughtful... when he's with Joyce. He is the definition of a broken person who has been through hell: having to watch his child slowly pass away, his wife leave him, and become dependent on alcohol to numb his pain. He has overall become cold and kinda heartless, but Joyce brings out a side of him that nobody else can, not even Eleven. I truly disliked Hopper for the first 2 seasons, but watching this season made me think about the actual depth of his character.
Jade Hunter
2022-07-08 03:38:21 +0000 UTCI completely disagree with you about the “sitcomy” thing and im surprised you didn’t like the first two episodes especially cause it highlighted the lighthearted times before things hit the fan since you get really freaked out by horror but I guess not lol 🤷🏾♀️ They are allowed to make a more colorful season… and I’m sad about your opinion on Hopper I doubt he’s “just trying to get her drunk” but okay I’ll take your word for it.

2022-07-07 20:17:51 +0000 UTCSeason 3 is my fav season it’s so fun and it still fits within the story and having watched season 4 it’s a great bridge between season 2 and season 4… also you were looking down in the beginning after the title sequence it said “One Year Later” so the Russian thing in the beginning was a year before.

2022-07-07 14:59:54 +0000 UTCseason 3 is my least fav season but that doesn’t make it bad in the slightest !! really excited to watch this with you ❤️

2022-07-07 12:45:36 +0000 UTCnoah is so freaking talented. apparently season 5 will be focused on will kinda like season 1 so i am excited for that. with the screentime noah gets he honestly makes the most of it. noahs the youngest out of all the kids. noah is 17 turning 18 in 2 months. sadie is 20. gaten and finn are 19 and caleb is also 20. millie is 18. noah and millie are best friends outside the show. its so cute. i do love this season. it is very different from every season even season 4 but i think its kinda a breath of fresh air in the middle of the 5 seasons bc im sure season 5 is gonna be more serious considering its the last. also bc season 4 took 3 years to film you can imagine how much older theyll look next season. but yeah idk i truly love this season it has my heart. the finale tho... prepare yourself.

2022-07-07 09:04:38 +0000 UTCI first have to mention the puppy, of course. So cute! He can join us any time. It’s funny because the Stranger Things fandom is fairly divided by Season 3. For most fans it’s either their least favorite or most favorite season, haha! For me, I love all of the seasons so much that it’s hard to truly rank them. Season 3 really is so much fun, and I ADORE Robin, so I am so thankful to S3 for her. I’m very excited to see what you think of where Stranger Things goes from here. One of the previous comments mentions this above, but both S3 and S4 have their own slightly unique vibe from S1 and S2, and also from each other. I think it’s because the Duffer Brothers have slightly adjusted to story: If you do any reading up on Stranger Things in the future, you may hear the Duffer bros stating how they always had a overall/general idea about the entire story of Stranger Things and how it might start and end. I personally love that because it means they won’t drag out the show just to make more money and ruin the quality of the show like some shows have done in the past. However, I do think that they have expanded on their original ideas with new details and extra story due to popularity, all while trying to stick to their original vision for the show. I think they have done a great job expanding the word and weaving past concepts from the first seasons with the later ones! And incase you didn’t know already, every episode of S4 is over an hour long, with episode 9 of S4 having a run time of nearly 2.5 hours! Strap in, things only get Stranger from here! :D

2022-07-07 00:42:16 +0000 UTCcutest puppy !! hope we get to see that little adorable baby from now on <3

2022-07-07 00:06:33 +0000 UTCSeason 3 of Stranger things!! I haven't seen this since It first came out, so I'm really enjoying watching it with you! I guess the first episodes are different than other seasons, but I really like them, like others said because it shows them, just having fun, full on eighties vibes, just for a moment before everything goes wrong in hawkins as usual.. haha Also the aesthetic for this season, the colors, the fashion, everything it's so cool. Can't wait for the other episodes! Also your dog is adorable!!! Hope to see more of him/her because it's really cute!! :) Love your reactions as always !

2022-07-06 23:28:51 +0000 UTCThree minutes into this you said "noooo, it was closed, bro!" about the gate, and I laughed like a loon. Out loud. At work. When someone else was in my office. And again, when the rat exploded at Mrs Driscolls and you went "ha, it looks like Dr Pepper". You may have ruined DP for me for life now though 😂😂 I'm adoring your reactions to these episodes, and glad that you felt fully locked in by the end of episode 3. Hang on to your bat from here, it gets bonkers. (Also, im waiting to see season 4 until you're caught up! You're getting there much faster than I anticipated!)

2022-07-06 21:24:36 +0000 UTCYou should watch the “best of stranger things on jimmy fallon” compilation. The Kid actors are so funny in real life.

2022-07-06 21:13:49 +0000 UTCI feel like with the first two episodes you said they felt very sitcom-like, i think it was supposed to show the joy and happiness people feel during summer. like you want to be carefree and have the best time so that is what they were trying to show. but it is stranger things, so it had to show that where the characters need to realize they are not allowed to be happy. then it goes to the "normal" stuff you are used to as the episodes go on.

2022-07-06 16:57:47 +0000 UTCWhen Jonathan and Nancy were taken to Hawkins lab and given a tour by Dr. Owens, one of the reasons Dr. Owens said they couldn't tell Barb's parents what happened was "what if the Soviets find out about this technology." Dr. Owens was right; this is not good! The 80's throwback casting continues with Cary Elwes as Mayor Kline! You may remember him from Princess Bride. Also, Jake Busey is excellent as one of the annoying newspapermen. In the first episode, we see Hopper watching Magnum P.I. I don't think it's a coincidence that he bought a Hawaiian shirt for his date with Joyce. There's always some love for Weird Al on Stranger Things. You might remember that some of the people at the Halloween party in Season 2 were dressed as Weird Al. In Episode 3 of this season, Dustin is wearing a Weird Al shirt. Also, Mr. Clarke was playing "My Bologna" in his garage, a parody of "My Sharona." I don't think this is a coincidence either because Winona Ryder famously danced to "My Sharona" in Reality Bites. Is it just me, or does Starcourt look exactly like the mall from Mean Girls? It's too early for you to watch the bloopers for this season, but they are hilarious. It took David Harbour take after take to get through the "it's your grandma" line. It may not have been your thing, but I am so glad the kids got to spend two episodes just being teens. Speaking of, I think that Will is a bit emotionally stunted because of everything he went through. His friends are moving on and he is desperately hanging on to his childhood.

2022-07-06 16:54:10 +0000 UTCFirst of all, YOUR PUPPY IS SO CUTE WHAT AN ADORABLE CAMEO!!! Secondly, I'm so glad that you like Steve now lol when you were watching season 1 I was like "i hope he doesn't hold this against him his character development is so good" and his friendship with Dustin is so adorable. Season 3 is one of my favs I can't wait to see how you feel about the rest of it and get on to Season 4!!!!! Avoiding spoilers for it must be a nightmare :(
Charlie
2022-07-06 15:13:10 +0000 UTCI always felt like the beginning of season 3 was setting up El’s growth as well as what all the characters have to lose - the other seasons were so dramatic but this started with like how their lives *could* be without all the strife. Just makes the extra drama even more devastating because you just want the characters to be happy :(
Mikayla
2022-07-06 14:22:24 +0000 UTCRobin is my favourite character of season 3, without a doubt! I know this season kind of split the fans a little bit, but I think as much as eps 1 and 2 don't quite fit what we expect, they are super important to the set-up, and establishing the character dynamics, and I'm not sure there would have been any way to do it differently that would have been, like, better? Obviously the episodes could have been written differently lol I just feel like almost anything would have felt weird while they set things up, because the plots are a departure from what happened in the previous seasons. Very excited to hear your thoughts on the rest of the season! Overall, season 3 isn't my favourite, but that being said I think a couple of my favourite episodes are in season 3, so highs and lows I guess.

2022-07-06 13:24:57 +0000 UTCOmg Yessssss... I so needed this today! Yay. Also I hope you enjoyed your Independence Day celebrations or whatever it is that your country does... I only remembered that was a thing when the headlines here (Australia) were "The United States celebrates its independence with a massacre"... Because tell me you have a gun problem without telling me it's a gun problem 🤦♀️anyways... Off point... Hell yeah to season 3! It's the most 80s of seasons I think. God the set and wardrobe departments are next level. I'm living for the Dustin and Steve bromance and I freaking love Robin too... (it weirds me out that Maya Hawke is acting with Winona Ryder now when she used to act with her dad... Seriously Reality Bites is a staple movie! lol also... Totally irrelevant)... But I'm loving the Trio of them. Also the Max and Eleven combo is beyond deserved for screen time! Power to the women! Loving this so much. Though it feels like a slow start to the season in comparison to the past 2.
Vronnie
2022-07-06 07:28:41 +0000 UTCI think this season and next have different vibes then the first two just because since they are going off the 80s they are changing the styles that fit with the years they are set in or the movies they are paying homage to. At least thats how I view it.
Corey
2022-07-06 07:07:58 +0000 UTCNo because Will has been through so much in his life. He literally had part of his childhood taken away when he went missing and things only got worse for him in season 2. Thats not even including the trauma from his and Jonathon’s dad, Lonnie. Seeing how he was treated in this season (by his friends who should understand more than most how much he needs them) is actually heartbreaking. Like yeah, friendships drifting apart isnt uncommon, but I feel like the Mike we knew from seasons 1 and 2 would never treat his best friend like this. I’ll admit I was iffy on this season at first because of this (amongst other small complaints) but it definitely gets a lot better from here on. To me the first 2 episodes just felt a little disconnected from the feeling i got watching seasons 1 and 2. From here on out, though, it really starts to pick up and brings back that classic stranger things vibe

2022-07-06 06:35:45 +0000 UTCThe end reminds me of invasion of the body snatchers concept.
Richard
2022-07-06 05:36:13 +0000 UTCWhat a great reaction! I think if you went and rewatched the first 2 episodes in your own time, you would for sure like them. Very important chemistry and plot. And there’s so much fun writing that caters so many expectations for relationships after season 2! Questions are always apart of the beginning of seasons and I don’t think anyone ever predicts it right. Max having El do (encourage) Spy games, saying she should dump Mike, and kinda her bossy/attitude personality she has with Lucas and others are reasons I wasn’t so fond of max (was waiting to tell u some of my reasons for season 3 since day 1, season 2 reasons are in those comments). I fall in love with her character tho. The rats, definitely disturbing 😂 Dustin and Steve’s relationship.. has to be adored by everyone, right?! I love stranger things! Can’t wait for more!
Anthony Jackson
2022-07-06 05:26:15 +0000 UTCThis is funny. I said those guys in the office should die and 2 seconds later you said too. Wow.
Richard
2022-07-06 05:19:36 +0000 UTCRandom fact about Maya Hawke (the girl that plays Robin): she’s the daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman
Lorena Oliveira
2022-07-06 05:00:49 +0000 UTCDacre Montgomery who plays Billy is so good this season. Nice to see some Will appreciation. He’s the best! :)
Tessa Noble
2022-07-06 04:39:41 +0000 UTComg the puppy!!!! pls tell me they will be making an appearance again im begging
Kerry
2022-07-06 03:05:10 +0000 UTCPretty sure u missed it in the beginning but it said “one year later” after the Russian beginning. Also, it’s been a little over or exactly a year since the end of last season pretty sure!
Anthony Jackson
2022-07-06 03:02:34 +0000 UTCFinally some appreciation for Will! I find that he’s one of the more underrated characters which is so crazy to me because I think Noah is the best male actor on this series. I think you’d also enjoy the actor’s personality a lot, he’s very humble and doesn’t really act like a celebrity if you get what I’m saying. I’m also going to tell you all the actors and actresses ages just in case you didn’t know! Millie (eleven) is 18, Noah (Will) is 17, Finn (Mike) is 19, Sadie (Max) is 20, Caleb (Lucas) is 20, Gaten (Dustin) is 19, Joe (Steve) is 30, Natalie (Nancy) is 27, Charlie (Jonathan) is 28, Maya (Robin) is 23
Bailey
2022-07-06 03:01:52 +0000 UTChopper is one of my favorite characters. he's rough around the edges and sometimes he gets on your last nerve. but he's real and would protect the people he cares about no matter what. he has a side to him that's actually soft (soft by hopper's standards) and he never puts himself first. maybe because of his past trauma he has trouble verbalizing his true feelings and hides behind a tough demeanor, but we all know deep down hop is a giant teddy bear. thats why i love him so much. el and joyce bring out the best in him; his development from s1 until now is probably thanks to them. they made him realize he's not the man he thought was but much more
All though I prefer the other seasons more I will say that the hype around season 3 was unmatched. Summer 2019 was perfect just because of this season.
Bailey
2022-07-06 02:53:11 +0000 UTCI feel the need to inform you that, as far as I'm concerned, your dog can interrupt as much as he wants, show him as much as you want too he's the cutest thing I've ever seen (excluding my own dogs of course)
Aninha Silva
2022-07-06 02:33:48 +0000 UTCAlso HSMTMTS SEASON 3 premiers July 27th! just to let you know! I can't wait! If you haven't seen the musical that theyre putting on for this season you should definitely react to that too!!
JT
2022-07-06 02:07:57 +0000 UTCSeason 3 is literally everything to me!!! I love it so much! Definitely my favorite season along with what's to come!
JT
2022-07-06 02:05:50 +0000 UTCI’ve been waiting sooooo long and I’m HYPED.
Anthony Jackson
2022-07-06 02:05:33 +0000 UTCfor me, season 3 is such a special part of the series. the atmosphere from the anticipation and joy when it came out was unmatched in my opinion. it's so different but still ties into the bigger picture which makes me love it.
Lailah
2022-07-06 01:53:33 +0000 UTCi agree season 3 has such a weird and distinct vibe that is different than all the other ones and it makes it a little hard to get into at first. it is my least favorite season but i still love it and it picks up a lot and cant wait to see you react to the rest of the season!
rylie o
2022-07-06 00:55:35 +0000 UTCQuestion for you michael: will my custom request for June still happen even though I switched back to the movie tier for July? Also this reaction was just what I needed tonight ❤️

2022-07-06 00:55:02 +0000 UTCWe’ve reached season three! From here on out it’s all new to me too. Exciting!

2022-07-06 00:38:40 +0000 UTCthe girl playing robin its on the first fear street movie! the girl that works at the mall
Yenelly Tejada
2022-07-06 00:38:21 +0000 UTCthis show takes 1-3 years to start a new season so the actors are much older than the age thy portray by now
Yenelly Tejada
2022-07-06 00:30:24 +0000 UTCCan’t wait to watch this later tonight ❤️ haven’t seen your reaction yet but season 3 really picks up after the first 2 episodes, hope you enjoy this season!
Kaliyah
2022-07-06 00:16:37 +0000 UTCseason 3 is my least favorite season, but considering it's stranger things, that doesn't mean much cause it's still amazing. I just rewatch it the least. And the issues i have with season 3 sadly don't get better in season 4 (it gets way worse) but i can't say why until you watch it cause i dont want to spoil anything.
Angie
2022-07-05 23:49:44 +0000 UTCseason 3 is one of my favorites!! i think because of the aesthetic and with the kids growing up, its very nostalgic. definitely brings back memories. its like they all have their own problems and struggles aside from the world ending peril stuff lol. in that sense, its relatable. cant wait for you to see the rest of the season!
Lmao I feel this. Sleep will be there tomorrow! (Or the day after, or the one after that, or..you get it)

2022-07-05 23:17:59 +0000 UTCThank you Heather!! Good to know it’s happening to other creators too (tho no fun for them). You already gave me more info than Vimeo support has 🙂
Michael Beveraggi
2022-07-05 23:17:02 +0000 UTCHey! It’s not working on the app for some reason, I have no idea why, I’m trying a couple things now to see if it helps. It does seem to be working on the browser tho! (Login to the website from your phones browser, it’s essentially the same functionality!)

2022-07-05 23:12:34 +0000 UTCI haven’t watched your reaction yet but I have a lot of mixed feelings on season 3. I think aesthetically it’s the best season yet but I prefer the storylines in the other seasons more :)
Bailey
2022-07-05 23:12:24 +0000 UTCmaybe this is a vimeo thing, but on the app the link doesn’t work, so i have to copy it & put it into safari to watch. it’s been happening with other people i watch on patreon as well
