Of the three, this one musters a much stronger Stranger Things vibe. It pays off parts 1 and 2 REALLY well. There is some properly brutal shit, rivalling part 1.
There is SO much to like about this but something just doesn’t play right. It just doesn’t feel like enough. If this had been a 12 episode limited series I feel like people would be going nuts for it. Maybe it just needed a bit more budget? In the UK, I still feel like the 18 cert adds an expectation that isn’t met.
I don’t think I liked this part much more than I liked the other parts. It has the same problems, in the form of pace killing heart-to-hearts and the same strengths, characters you give a shit about and a zany story.
I think the whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts.
