As Stranger Things 3, the third installment of the American science fiction-horror series Stranger Things, is all set to premiere on Netflix's web streaming service starting on July 4, fans and critics on social media can't contain their excitement over Duffer Brothers' latest offering on the nostalgia-filled 1983 setting. While we can't wait to watch the latest troubles the teens of Hawkins, Indiana will face in Stranger Things 3, here comes the early reviews and critics feel that season 3 is more exciting and emotional than ever. While some say that it’s an apt description of the tagline for the season, which read, "One summer can change anything," other feel that the latest season moves things forward at a thrilling pace, and sweeps us along with it.

Check out some of the reactions to Stranger Things season 3 here:

TV Line: Season 3 toggles between tubular and, like, totally tubular, its emotional developments coming off every bit as life-or-death as its eye-popping action sequences. Among the highlights (and there are many!): The evolution of Joyce and Hopper’s relationship is alternately adorable, frustrating and poignant; new hurdles in Nancy and Jonathan’s romance take it deeper than their initial pretty girl/weird guy obstacle ever could have; Maya Hawke’s Robin (an insta-fave) makes a hilarious third wheel in Steve and Dustin’s ongoing bromance; and Priah Ferguson gets a lot more scenes to steal as Lucas’ snarky sister Erica.

Variety: What I can reveal is that by the time the final credits roll on season 3 (plus a post-credits scene you won’t want to miss), it’s made much more of a case for itself than season 2 ever did simply by trying to be something different. The mall especially proves to be a rewarding new location that sets the stage for more inventive battles. Even displacing the action from the spooky grays of late fall to the saturated heat of midsummer shifts the tone and challenges the directors to convey creeping unease through Technicolor sweat. Later scenes set in the manic frenzy of a Fourth of July carnival are so vivid you can smell the popcorn and funnel cake.

Hollywood Reporter: I think the third season, which I've seen in its eight-episode entirety, is all about recognizing the inevitability of growing up and moving forward, while at the same time fighting against that tide. So when I say there's repetitious fatigue that sets in through the first five or six episodes, some of that is completely intentional and much of it is still quite entertaining, but this introspection on stagnation and reticence to mature probably could have come sooner and unfolded faster. It's not New Coke, but maybe it makes me sympathize a little with the idea of New Coke. Stay tuned!
