And now, let us begin...
The reviews for Stranger Things season 4 Volume 1 are in, and while many critics are
praising its scares and increased production cost, many are also labelling it as overstuffed
and indulgent. According to the reviews, the increased scale has brought bigger scares
and heaps of ambition, but maybe at the cost of some of the human elements that made the
show popular to begin with. Most of the positive reviews highlight the terrifying impact of
the Vecna, outlining that season 4 is set to be the scariest season yet, while other
reviews are critical of the show’s increased scale. As of right now in the process of making
this video, Stranger Things 4 has an 89% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is the same exact score
as Stranger Things 3. Season 1 is far and away the highest rated with 97%, while season
2 is behind with 94%. There are still lots of reviews left to be posted, and there are
more critics that have yet to see the first batch of episodes to give it their ratings,
so let’s not lose hope yet. IGN gave it an 8 out of 10, which is higher than the average
7 out of 10 that they give out to pretty much anything and everything. Lots of reviews are
praising Sadie Sink’s performance in this season, calling it her the best actress. They
also praise everything about Vecna, as well as the show finally answering the questions
that viewers have had since the first season back in 2016.
Lots of critics in particular seem to point out that episodes 4 and 7 are the best ones
yet. Those episodes are Dear Billy and the Massacre at Hawkins Lab, which makes you wonder
just exactly how juicy those episodes will be. On the other hand, the criticisms that
season 4 seems to be getting are related to the extensive length of the episodes, which
generated pacing issues according to some people. Others also didn’t like the California
storyline in particular, with one reviewer particularly calling Argyle’s stoner shtick
annoying. Some critics also found Hopper’s Russian story arc to be anticlimactic, which
makes you wonder if introducing Russians to the franchise was a good idea since they got
mixed reactions in season 3 as well. With that said, these are only the first couple
of reviews for Stranger Things 4, and it’s looking to be another great addition to the
franchise. Here’s hoping that Volume 1 delivers. Overall, super exciting times.
And that is all that we have for today. What did you think about the first reviews for
Stranger Things 4 Volume 1?
