Anything can happen in Hawkins, Indiana, and we have witnessed it since season 1 of Stranger Things. The second season, too, was a roller-coaster ride. Stranger Things fans expected much more from the makers, and as we reach towards the climax of season 3, they don't disappoint. Season 3 kicks off with a cliched storyline about teen issues, a town in threat, and, of course, a new, fancy mall in Hawkins, but what comes next is worth all the popcorn.
Season three starts on a jolly ride - summer is here, the school's out, there's a new mall in town, which is the newest hangout place, and internships are important. While most of the town is busy indulging in summer activities, our favourite gang has decided to save the town once again from the Russians. If you thought that the Upside Down monster, aka the Demogorgon, wasn't a threat this time, wait till episode five.
This season will make you take a walk down memory lane of the '80s, and every bit of it feels so real and true that you won't be able to get enough of it. With neon everywhere - be it in the eyeshadow palette or in the background, all of the vibrancy makes Stranger Things 3 connect with the audience with the 80s and early 90s.
