It's not the best episode of the show or anything, but I still enjoyed watching it and it wasn't agonizing or boring to watch, because it has a good direction and knows how to keep the scenes not boring by good editing.
I was the biggest critic of season 3, because how it repeated what season 1 and 2 already did with the whole "one of them seeing a monster and trying to tell everyone, but no one believes him and everyone is fighting each other, until the last episode where they realize he was right and there was in fact a monster and they team up to defeat it" plot that was already done in the previous seasons and was just embarrassing to see, and also them butchering the character of Hopper for no reason whatsoever just to add some drama and conflict in the story.
But I'd lie if I say this is not a well-made show. The production is amazing and feels as authentic as it can be, the direction is really good and the editing helps the scene to be more interesting and not boring.
The only thing this show is lacking in, is the writing, and the clichés are really annoying.
Like how many times have we scene this bully cliché and every time it was so fake and uninteresting that makes you roll your eyes?
I really this particular cliché and I don't know why they can't other ways to do it or make it feel more authentic.
Other than that, it's the first episode of the season after a really really long hiatus between season 3 and 4, and I can't really blame them for spending time with the characters and introducing the new ones.
And I really commend them for taking their time and not cram everything in 40 minutes like Disney Plus shows, the only thing MCU shows are disappointing and don't reach their full potential is the weird 6-episode per season and under an hour episode limit they have. So it's a nice to see a show that takes its time for a change.
Although I hope next episodes pick up the pace and don't have as much as fluff this episode, and also, I really really hope they don't do the same plot from season 3 which was the same plot as the 2 before like I describes above, and give us a fresh and new experience and they stop butchering Hopper or any other character.
