Just like last time I know it all finished airing over Christmas and New Years, but since those are inconvenient times for some, let’s discuss the series finale of Stranger Things.

    They did a good job giving all of the characters something to do and wrapping up the overarching supernatural elements. They did about as much saying goodbye to the characters as they could get away with in the time limit, and it’s a rare example of an ambiguous ending that didn’t leave me feeling frustrated or that the writers had chickened out.

    Part of me is simply relieved that the show got an ending at all, let alone a good one. I’m sure that in a few years time I’ll want to watch the whole thing again, which I can’t say for a lot of shows.

      I rewatched the first four seasons as a lead up to season five and season five overall really did an excellent job wrapping everything up. I would happily (years from now) rewatch the entire series again.

      I think it helps that season 4 is both an excellent season with an excellent finale, but also sets up season 5.

      Yep, too many shows are open-ended because they want to leave an opportunity to continue the show if it’s evaluated and considered viably profitable.
