Evan calls out Jim Hopper's toxic behaviour

Los Angeles: Actor Evan Rachel Wood has criticised 'Stranger Things 3' for its depiction of Jim Hopper, calling the character's behaviour unflattering.

Hopper, played by David Harbour, is keen to date Joyce (Winona Ryder) but she does not seem interested beyond being a friend, much to the annoyance of the cop, who is also uncomfortable with the budding romance between his adopted teen daughter Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and Mike (Finn Wolfhard).

"You should never date a guy like the cop from 'Stranger Things'. Extreme jealousy and violent rages are not flattering or sexy like TV would have you believe. That is all," Wood wrote on Twitter.

When fans of the show argued that the story was set in the 1980s, she said it was not acceptable even if it depicted a certain period in history.

The popular series started streaming on Netflix from July 4.
