Chapter Three: The Case of the Missing Lifeguard

Slowly, the plot is starting to form something interesting. I still really enjoy what they're doing with this season because it's really focused on these characters and how they're growing up, which I think is really cool. A lot of people like Winona Ryder in this series, I think her acting is really monotonous, especially when she's acting concerned about something and it's especially noticeable in this episode.

Finally moving on from the RomCom that was the first two episodes.

Alot of action and story development.

I loved season 1/2 but the first few episodes of 3 didn't impress me, too much teen drama, not at all like Stranger Things. But I kept watching because I still cling on the hope I had for this show. This episode made me remember why I love Stranger Things. Just hold on for a few episodes and you WILL start to like it again!

Max and El decide to spy Billy using El's power and she sees Heather and Billy. However El is attacked by a monster and they decide to check Billy at home. Meanwhile Joyce and Hopper go to the Hawkins Laboratory that is closed. Robin translates the Russian encoded message snooping around in the mall with Steve and Dustin.

In "Chapter Three: The Case of the Missing Lifeguard", the action and humor of the first two season have returned. So far the transformation of Billy was the greatest mystery; but now there are other interesting storylines simultaneously happening. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Chapter Three: The Case of the Missing Lifeguard"

Episode 3.03 (4.5 out of 5 stars).

This episode delivers more with the characters continuing their journeys. Several characters are off running their own journeys apart. Which is what i am liking about this season. Eleven and Max are looking for Billy and the lifeguard he was working with. Will is having trouble growing up as his friends are moving on from their childhood games. Hopper goes back to the old scientist facility. Dustin and Steve are trying to solve the Russians coding message at the mall.

The direction is fast moving. The soundtrack is great. The music score is thrilling. I did feel like this episode did fall too much into the characters drama with what they are facing. That was the only boring part which the script has trouble moving on from. Otherwise, still a good episode.
