Not only do the seven plus-sized episodes detonate action sequences so pulse-pounding that they might count as stress tests, they introduce nightmare-inducing new villains of both the human and supernatural sort, they throw together an unexpected tag team for the ages, and they serve up more laughs than you’d imagine were possible with dark forces conspiring to turn the world Upside Down. (Much like “America,” you can’t spell “hysterical” without Erica.)
