Did anyone else get sick of Erica?


Cause shes just a 1 note character, every single scene of hers shes saying some snarky line or calling someone a nerd. Her act got real old halfway through the season.

Its like the creators got word people found her funny in her few scenes in season 1 and 2 and decided to give us an entire season of her every episode doing her shtick. Shes fine in small doses like she was in seasons 1 and 2, but it becomes tiring and redundant when shes there every episode being snarky and saying nerd.

Totally agree!!! I don't know if I got used to her or her lines lightened up a little as the season progressed but she was a shade more tolerable in the last half. Good actress just one dimensional script for this character. And they laid it on thick!.

Perhaps it was a little too subtle for some to notice, but I like how Erica grew this season. It pained me to watch her in Season 2, but I was glad to see her character fleshed out with talents and the whole fact she's a closet "nerd" herself, to the point where she's clearly calling Dustin a "nerd" affectionately by the end (though she obviously wouldn't admit it), because they've become friends. I also liked that once she absorbed most of the backstory about the Upside Down, El, etc., she didn't miss a beat helping out. Some folks apparently find the stereotypical attitude thing funny so there's that, but I'm glad there's more to her character now.

I was thinking the whole season is she suppose to be funny because I just find her annoying. She's such a cartoonish stereotype it gets tiresome real quick.

reply

Honestly, she was my very least favorite character in the whole series. Way too annoying and unpleasant. I didn't find anything about her amusing at all :(

reply

It was kind of what I expected from her, but I did appreciate she actually winds up absorbing some pushback from Dustin and has something resembling an arc. I found a lot of surprising characters rather unlikable in season 3, so she didn't stand out to me by comparison.

reply

Yes she was annoying.
