Chapter Seven: The Lost Sister

Pretty much the only episode of this show I'd consider filler. In an otherwise great TV show, they for some reason wanted to spend an entire episode following one character. You can honestly skip it and not much is different.

This episode is sick, with one of the coolest soundtracks of the season. However, the performances, except for Millie Bobby Browns impeccable performance, are kinda average. It was pretty dark, but it was a little fun. It was an interesting concept, that could have been great if they followed through with it.

After seeing the bad reviews i was debating whether to watch this episode or not, but ultimately i decided to do it in case something important happened! Now that i have seen it i will skip it next time and pretend it doesn't exist!

The problem with this episode is that it doesn't feel like an episode of Stranger Things, but instead some "New Mutants" rip-off! The episode obviously exists to develop Elevens character, but it just doesn't reach a highet level! Her hairstyle changes more than her character! The side characters are.... not great and i just couldn't take them seriously!

Ultimately this episode fails because it is put after the exciting cliffhanger of the previous episode! Its like those annoying character centered episodes of The Walking Dead! Pacekillers.

I have no idea why they did this, they could've built Jane's character without introducing four bad actors and making us sit through a thankfully short merry go round. None of those new characters were likable, The short story was very predictable it was very unlike the quality that stranger things tends to offer. It felt like i had accidentally turned on one of those bad marvel shows.

The episode was not bad it was just out of place. The story of her meeting a sister had a point but the timing on which episode it followed was why it didn't fit.
