One of the best episodes of Season 1, and perhaps even of 'Stranger Things', is this one, "Chapter Seven: The Bathtub". The show started off beautifully setting things up and "Chapter 3: Holly Jolly" and "Chapter Four: The Body" did equally beautifully at starting to putting the introduced chess pieces into place and expanding upon what was seen before. "Chapter Seven: The Bathtub" sees these pieces put into place and couldn't have been done so more wonderfully.
"Chapter Seven: The Bathtub" is a winner in every area and at its best it's quite masterful. The production values are superb. Very stylish and atmospheric, with some truly beautiful images that one can't believe such high quality comes from a Netflix show. Not to mention the highly impressive special effects that put a good deal of big budget films in recent years to shame. The music has a wonderful 80s nostalgic vibe while also being quite haunting, enhancing the atmosphere beautifully.
Writing is thought-probing and has a lot of brains and heart. The humour is gentle but very subtly witty and funny, while there is non-over sentimental poignancy and suspenseful tension. The story always intrigues, is never too obvious, is tightly paced while still having breathing space and has a great tense and nostalgic atmosphere. The season has not lost its suspense yet and its nostalgic element is done affectionately and reminds one of Stephen King's childhood friendship depictions in 'Stand By Me' and 'IT'.
The characters have not lost what made them interesting and are actually more so from how much they've grown, Eleven is especially well written. All the acting is dead on, Millie Bobby Brown's is beyond her years and she has great chemistry with the other child actors.
In summary, masterful. 10/10.
