I can totally see her being the best, Sadie is IMO the most talented of the bunch, not to mention Naturally beautiful and charismatic.

[@yashminarannee1927]

I did not believe her when she said that this season was the scariest ever…Oh boy was I wrong ! This one is really horrific. And on a side note this girl’s talent is absolutely mind blowing. She was the best this season and deserves an Emmy Nomination without a doubt.

[@Cayoroots]

Yup, she made the season increible. Definitely season 4's star

[@Moraes.S]

This season is getting closer to "American Horror Stories". Not that I don't like it, but it's like a freaking horror movie. And if Vecna is on the "upside down" where is all the fog and that scaries beasts (demongorgons) and the particles (a.k.a radioative stuff). Just remember the last episode of season 1, when they rescue will in that world, and now. It's totally diferent.

She is very talented, I love her acting and a great personality...she has lots of humility and graciousness whenever she is in public, her behaviour is very fine, I love that genuineness. God bless her for all future endeavours. The fact that she is such a good actor, there's a strong reason that she was a theatre kid! she acted on stage first then in movies, so evidently she has different approach towards acting.

[@neltins5308]

[@anubhavdassharma1854]

Season 3 kinda changed everyone weirdly. Lucas was like the most sidelined character in this season, will was not doing much but still had his important moments, Mike was portrayed as a selfish douchebag which is fine if it pays off in the end but it didn't. The only bit of season 1-2 Mike I saw was ep 4, when he made a pretty good plan to check if Billy was possessed (probably one of the last times Mike gets to be himself) and he defended Eleven from Billy.
