Harbour's performance and the character itself have been well-received by critics. However, his character development in the third season was negatively received, due to being seen as regressive, hypermasculine, and misogynistic.

Fictional character biography

James "Jim" Hopper Jr., nicknamed "Hop", is the chief of Hawkins Police Department. Hopper has lived in Hawkins nearly all his life, having attended high school with Joyce Byers and Bob Newby. Hopper served in the Chemical Corps during the Vietnam War, where he worked with Agent Orange, an experience he believes to have led to his daughter Sara's fatal illness. Hopper was married to Diane and they had a daughter together, Sara. They divorced after their young daughter died of cancer, which caused him to lapse into alcohol and drug addiction to numb his grief. For a few years after Sara's death, he was a homicide detective in New York City before moving back to Hawkins. Eventually he grows to be more responsible, saving Will Byers as well as taking Eleven in as his adopted daughter. In Season 3 he tries to break up Eleven and Mike since their relationship is moving too fast for him, while Hopper himself is falling in love with Joyce.

Season 1

In Season 1, Hopper is a chainsmoking, alcoholic cop in Hawkins, Indiana. He is approached by a former high school classmate, Joyce Byers, who tells him her son, Will, has gone missing. Joyce tells Chief Hopper about the static phone call she received and suspected was Will's breathing. Hopper is reluctant to believe her but admits that the charring of the phone from the surge of electricity is unusual.

Hopper realizes as the season continues that there is a vast conspiracy hiding at Hawkins Lab and he is instrumental in the mission to find and save Will. After Eleven's apparent death, Hopper is seen leaving some food in the snowy woods, including Eggos, Eleven's favorite food.

Season 2

In flashbacks, Eleven manages to escape from the Upside Down but is forced to remain hidden in Hopper's cabin in the woods to avoid government agents. Hopper forbids her from leaving or from letting Mike or anyone else know that she is still alive. In the present, the kids prepare for Halloween. Eleven asks to go trick-or-treating, but Hopper insists that she needs to remain hidden. Hopper investigates when pumpkins patches all over town suddenly start rotting. The relationship between Hopper and Eleven is strained by this isolation, even more so when he cuts the wires to the television set. Hopper and Joyce monitor Will's visits to Hawkins Lab when he exhibits signs that he is still being influenced by the Upside Down. Hopper has to be rescued from the underground tunnels when he tries to explore them alone. He is once more instrumental in solving the mystery of the demodogs and the pumpkin rot, and ultimately takes Eleven to the basement in Hawkins to close the gate once more. After working with Eleven to close the gate he strikes a deal to officially adopt Eleven.

Season 3

At the beginning of Season 3, Eleven and Mike have been dating for 7 months, much to the dismay of Hopper, who is annoyed that Eleven and Mike are constantly together, spending all of their time alone kissing. When Hopper confesses to Joyce that he feels uncomfortable about the situation, she suggests that he should sit down and calmly talk to Eleven and Mike about how he feels. He tries to prepare a written "heart-to-heart" speech, but when he tries to give it, it backfires and Hopper resorts to verbally threatening Mike to stay away from Eleven or he will end their relationship.
