Eleven's first shopping experience with Max is charming, plus she picks out some pretty cool '80s attire.One of these new characters is “ Max”, who according to TVLine, is a “tough and confident” early teenage girl who rides a skateboard and whose “appearance, behaviour and pursuits seem more typical of boys than of girls in this era.”Īlso joining the cast will be her “very muscular and hyper-confident” step-brother Billy, who reportedly drives a Camaro. Currently, Robin, Dustin, and Steve are the most enjoyable clique to follow, however, Max and Eleven's team-up definitely has potential. This particular narrative choice is not necessarily a bad thing, it's just not what we're used to. But one of the oddest things about Season 3 so far, is how divided the kids are. And while things like Demogorgons and parallel universes are hot topics in Stranger Things, there's nothing wrong with exploring the financial ramifications of big businesses and their effects on small-town America too. Elwes is perfect as the untrustworthy politician, with his cheesy grin and sleazy demeanor. We're also introduced to Hawkins' smarmy Mayor, Larry Kline, played by Princess Bride star Cary Elwes. But before we get ahead of ourselves, did anyone notice that big Russian dude from the first episode hanging out at Enzo's? Is he following Hopper, or does the guy just really like Italian food? Either way, the Duffer Brothers' decision to gradually reveal more details surrounding the Upside Down/Russian scientists plot this season (so far) makes each episode feel significant. Let's hope Joyce will give him another shot at a first date.

Actor David Harbour gets to showcase his exceptional range in this episode, as we see him in a myriad of situations ranging from happy to drunk to angry. Hopper's newfound glee after successfully scaring Mike away from Eleven is a good bit of fun. And following the newly-formed "Scoops Ahoy Squad" on their quest to learn more about the mysterious Russian transmission is a storyline we're excited to see more of. Maya Hawke's Robin effectively completes the trio with her sharp wit and tenacity. And while it's a little strange that Steve's closest friend is barely in high school, there's something sweet about the whole thing - sort of a big brother/little brother dynamic.

Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin) and Joe Keery's (Steve) compelling Season 2 chemistry is still palpable. "The Mall Rats" has some fantastic character interactions too, but none of them are as heartening as Dustin and Steve's reunion. But with Billy seemingly under the control of the Mind Flayer, how much of "Billy" is really left? Billy and Max were great additions in Season 2, so it's nice to know that their complex sibling relationship could potentially be explored further down the road. Firstly, it's a relief that Dacre Montgomery's Billy isn't gone for good. What in the hell is wrong with Billy? Sure, the guy's no saint, but kidnapping his co-workers and having visions of slamming Karen Wheeler's (Cara Buono) head into a wall isn't his usual style.
