Chapter Seven was thrilling roller coaster ride and eight chapter began with the continuing force, but somehow it cooled off by the very end. The final episode gave us some answers and closed some circles while vaguely raising new questions and gave opening to new story arcs. Altogether it was very satisfying finale for the opening season that leaves the viewer intrigued enough for wanting another one.
Most of the main characters got fully developed in the first episodes then the last two episodes gave the biggest leap into the arc of chief Hopper, his character really grew in depth and we finally learned a lot about his past. Also the last episode added nice layer to the character Steve (Nancy's boyfriend) whose seemingly high school jock attitude was just a cover, and he actually came out to be cool dude.
Interesting first season, where great acting, wonderful characters and overall atmosphere overshadowed the story and occasionally managed to hide the unoriginal plot devices.
