Chapter Four: The Sauna Test

Like both the previous seasons, First three were setting up the plot, now the cards are open we can gave the showdown. But the only complain remains still about non realistic interaction between the characters.

This episode was very intense on all fronts and absolutely outstanding. Very enjoyable, huge developments in the story, season 3 is definitely getting even better now.

After a rocky start to the season it finally feels like we're back. This episode has the main cast split into 3 groups, with each group trying tackle a different aspect of whatever is menacingly haunting Hawkins.

While it still feels like Dustin and Steve are stumbling on solutions to their problems too easily thanks to Robin, Joyce and Hopper are getting their hands dirty and tracing clues with some gritty detective work which is great, and the rest of the kids are (in vintage Stranger Things style) cleverly coming up with plans to find out what exactly is going on and who's behind it.

The formula is pretty similar to that which we've seen from Stranger Things in the previous 2 seasons, but the writers have thrown in a few curve balls to keep things fresh, and there's definitely a darker tone than we've seen before. The pacing in this episode is great and the acting, as per, is phenomenal. Hopefully the rest of the season is like this and not like the first 2 and a half episodes.

This reviewer was concerned after episodes 1-3. Very concerned. Then "The Sauna Test" brings the full fun of watching Stranger Things back Full Force!!

El is talking to Max and tells that she is worried with Billy and Heather. Mrs. Driscoll is taken by the police to a hospital. The Mind Flayer attacks Tom and Janet in the empty factory and turns them into the Flayed. Hopper recovers at Joyce´s house and they head to meet Kline to know the identity of the man that attacked him. Will senses The Mind Flayer and the group of teenagers reunites to discuss the problem without Dustin that is with Steve and Robin spying the Russians. They plot a plan to lock Billy inside the sauna to force the Mind Flayer to leave him. Nancy and Jonathan are fired from The Hawkins Post by Tom Holloway. Robin buys blueprints of the Starcourt Mall to find an access to the restricted rooms. Erica makes a deal with Robin, Steve and Dustin to open the door of the restricted room.

"Chapter Four: The Sauna Test" is so far the best episode of the Third season of "Stranger Things". The episode is full of tension and action and has interesting subplots. My vote is nine.
