The wait is finally over: the Stranger Things The finale of the series premieres tonight. The fifth season (which is also the last) begins its victory lap in Volume 1, with four monster-sized episodes. They dropped the night before Thanksgiving. The next three episodes, shown in Volume 2 of The smash-hit Netflix serieshit the streamer on Christmas Day.
Now, Volume 3 is upon us. If you ever needed a reason to pop a bottle of champagne, this is it.
Stranger Things 5 takes viewers back to Hawkins, Indiana. The year is 1987, and the town is under the watchful eye of a large military presence. And Vecna? Well, at the beginning of the season, he was nowhere to be found.
If you have watched the first seven episodes of Season 5 of Netflixyou know what happened to Eleven, Hopper, Mike and the gang. But I’m not here to release spoilers.
What’s clear is that the Hawkins crew of heroes is in for one heck of an adventure — and that’s not counting every other adventure, monster fight and race for survival they’ve been through. I know therapy wasn’t popular in the ’80s, but well, do these people need some serious psychoanalysis.
