The moment we’ve been waiting almost three years for has arrived: “Strange Things” is back this weekend for a fourth season on Netflix screens, and you can not go back to the office tomorrow without seeing in one big binge the first part of the fourth season, because no one will talk about anything tomorrow . Moreover: fans of the series are going to dig into it now for a little over a month in a row, until the second and final part of the fourth season goes up to Netflix on 1.7. Yes yes, you have a whole month of all this geeky fun right now, the internet is already exploding with fan theories and Millie Bobby Brown is going to be a huge star. Good?
Without getting into significant spoilers, the fourth season takes the mythology of “weird stuff” and expands it in a way that might suck devoted viewers, but give it enough fuel to get to the fifth and final season with real suspense in the air. Also in the fourth season, the series zigzags a bit between the desire to press every possible nostalgic button of those who grew up in the 1980s, and the desire to tell a coherent and frightening horror story as they would in the eighties. But even professional nose curlers will admit that above all, “weird stuff” is just great fun and unapologetic and you can definitely make a tub of popcorn and enjoy it as such.
The defensive review of the fourth season of “Strange Things” will be published extensively on these pages, but most of the reviews already published in the United States compliment the fourth season for being darker and more complex, so it may seem a bold choice for the creators, the Dapper brothers . Or as Ross Dapper put it, “At first we sold it to Netflix with the kids from The Gunis and ET, but we knew that as older kids they would get to ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ and ‘Halloween.’ Forced us to rely more on the horror genre. ” Seven scary episodes are already waiting for you on Netflix servers, two final episodes of the season will land with us on 1.7. You start to get scared.
