>>7449815>>7454164I liked season 3 a bit more than 2, but not as much as 1. I noticed there was a larger focus on the character development, and the season took a bit more of a comedic tone, even if it was a bit cheesy at some points. While I enjoyed most of the non plot related stuff, I did find myself wishing they would just hurry up and get back to the main story. I was disappointed to see that the main group of kids were fragmented for the whole season, but I did like that Steve took a more staring role and the new character Robin (Lucas' sister can suck a fat one tho.) The mystery was stronger than 2, and overall the plot was more interesting, and actually lead into something more, it was an actual continuation. I don't know where the series will go from here, or how long it will go on for, but I think there is a good chance that hopper is still alive, and I hope they wrap it up soon, it doesn't need to overstay its welcome anymore than it already has.
TL;DR: ST peaked with it's first season, but the subsequent seasons are still fairly enjoyable.
Season 1 > Season 3 > Season 2
