A Good Start For Season Four!

This is a great start to a new season of this amazing show. We have been waiting for this season for almost four years now! This episode introduced some great special effects and added a great element to this show. Now there was a little bit of pointless filler, but it wasn't all the way useless. You have to have some annoying drama to start this seasons theme of eleven getting bullied. I liked the ominous style that set this seasons terrifying effect. As every group of characters faced there own problems all apart from each other, a batch of scariness stirs up around the world. I recommend watching this episode. A solid 8/10.
