Best Stranger Things Seasons, Ranked By Fans

With four seasons under its belt, fans have eagerly debated which installment stands out as the best.

4. Season 3 (2019)

This chapter pitted the characters against new adversaries, including a mind-controlling villain, corrupt Hawkins officials, and the Reds.

Despite the lowest ranking, the installment still delivered the signature Stranger Things charm, mixing humor and heartwarming moments.

Fans note that they love Steve in a mommy role, the new character of Robin, and the groups of heroes are really interesting to watch.

However, the lack of development of the Upside Down, grown-up kids and the Red Dawn storyline almost ruined the atmosphere of the beloved series for some viewers.

3. Season 4 (2022)

Although it's the latest chapter, it seems to have a special place in the hearts of the viewers.

Season 4 brought new challenges and dangers to the residents of Hawkins, as well as unexpected twists that left fans eagerly speculating about the future of their favorite characters.

Fans love the fact that they were finally introduced to a relatable villain who explained the history of the otherworldly confrontation.

Unlike the previous season, which featured the same mystical antagonist in the form of the Hive Mind for the third time.

2. Season 2 (2017)

This chapter delved deeper into the Upside Down and introduced memorable new characters like Max, Billy, and even Bob, who died heroically at the end of the episodes.

With its exciting storyline and character development, season 2 successfully built on the foundation laid in the first episode and left fans wanting more.

However, audiences feel that the creators failed to fully unleash the amazing Upside Down. But the Duffer Brothers have deftly worked their way through season 2 without falling into a stagnation of ideas as in season 3.

Also, among the successes of the installment is the age of the actors, because the older they get, the more the magic of the project is lost.

1. Season 1 (2016)

Taking the top spot is none other than the show's inaugural season. The chapter introduced viewers to the small town of Hawkins, Indiana, and the disappearance of young Will Byers.

With its perfect blend of mystery, suspense, and supernatural elements, the first installment struck a chord with the viewers and propelled the show to incredible popularity.

Whether you prefer the eerie mystery of season 1, the expanded universe of season 2, the unexpected twists of season 4, or the thrilling battles of season 3, one thing is for sure — Stranger Things has solidified its place as one of the best shows of the decade.

And now fans are eagerly awaiting the finale. However, it's been delayed due to the writers' strike.
