So far, season three has been a little disappointing - slow and uneventful - and episode three kicks off with a fart and burp gag, which doesn't bode particularly well. However, things do gradually improve. Gradually.
Eleven and Max try and find out what Billy is doing by using Eleven's special powers, and are shocked to discover that he's up to no good. Joyce is continuing to play around with magnets and convinces Hopper to visit the Hawkins lab, where she suspects there might be a machine that is creating a powerful magnetic field; meanwhile, Steve, Dustin and Robin try to find Russian spies at the mall, Robin having cracked their code. And Will has a hissy fit 'cos his friends would rather kiss girls than play D&D.
With a little less of the '80s overload, and a touch more action and weirdness, Stranger Things is finally starting to build momentum. Best scenes: Nancy and Jonathan finding an old woman eating fertiliser, Jake Busey and his colleagues acting like sexist jerks (no doubt paying for their behaviour by the end of the season), Hopper getting beaten up by a Russian, and Billy and Heather viciously attacking Heather's parents. Far from a 10/10 episode (as some have rated it), but better than the first two.
