Watched the first 5 episodes of the new season. They're really leaning into the horror with this one, which I like. It's definitely got a bit of a Nightmare on Elm Street vibe so far. You can also tell that they've got a bigger budget now as the episodes are pretty much movie quality in terms of production and effects.
I like how different characters have teamed up in these episodes. Nancy and Robin have great chemistry together, while Steve and Dustin continue to provide most of the comedic elements. The Joyce/Murray pairing is also fun.
The use of music in this show continues to be top notch as well. I ended up going down a Kate Bush youtube rabbit hole the other night as a result. Man, I forgot how much I loved the "Hounds of Love" album back in the day.
