‘Stranger Things 5’ season finale was a success by bending over the limit
One of the hardest things for an established TV show is to surprise you.
In particular, fans seem to be surprised by revealing something new about the characters that they know, after years of watching episodes and connecting with their favorites.
That’s a big reason why I’ve enjoyed this fourth season of Netflix’s monster hit Stranger Things so much. And that’s why the last two episodes, dropping today, amp up the energy of an already inspiring season, revealing the full scope of the danger our heroes (and heroines) face while uncovering new complexities between them all.
The show has always turned on an unlikely premise: a nerdy gang of young children stop terrifying creatures from an alternate universe from consuming our world—with the help of some bumbling adults. That core crew — teen pals Mike, Dustin, Lucas and Will — has expanded every season and is now an endlessly eccentric gang that jams into a bustling tale like every underdog from every ’80s teen flick. Is.
For its fourth season, the series has more than doubled down on almost everything — building out the show’s fictional universe, adding new characters, and setting up a stellar performance for these final two episodes that offer the biggest spectacle yet. does.
The show’s new Big Bad – a hideous assembly of rotten flesh and tentacles named Vecna - is killing youths from an alternate dimension known as the Upside Down, and the show’s growing crew of young protagonists need to take her down. the wanted. Eventually, they realize they must work from multiple places, including from within the Upside Down itself, to try to defeat it.
Fans have feverishly traded online theories about these final two installments — episodes eight and nine — which include a whopper of the season finale that lasted more than two hours. Questions abound: does an important character die (with a lot of fans who bucked on Keery’s meager achievement, the brilliantly crafted dreamboat Steve Harrington)? Does a certain child with a cut-cut hairstyle reveal feelings beyond friendship for their childhood friend?

More importantly, is this season’s story really worth the final episode more than some feature films?
to take a rest. I will not answer most of these questions. But I’ll note that they are answered in the just-released episode, which is due to appear in the show’s upcoming fifth and final season, unveiling the seeds of the next one as the series begins to wrap up a world-threatening crisis. Keeps up the unmatched habit as well. And yes, this last, supersized episode is well worth the time.
The show’s producers and showrunners known as the Duffer Brothers — Ross and Matt — took a big swing early in the fourth season, using a tactic often employed by TV shows where you had a close-knit group of characters. while those who have been together. You separate them.
And boy, did they tear them apart. The super-powered, psychokinetic telepathic Kid Eleven, played by Millie Bobby Brown, loses his powers and moves to California with Winona Ryder’s Joyce Byers and his sons Will and Jonathan. Dustin, Lucas, and Mike, along with other kids who helped thwart an apocalypse last season, remain in Hawkins, Ind.
David Harbor’s depressed Sheriff Jim Hopper was trapped in a Russian prison, presumed dead, until Joyce found out differently earlier this season.
To make all that work, the Duffers have balanced the many stories taking place in at least four different locations—a situation that only escalates in the last two episodes. As the eighth episode opens, Eleven has left California for a secret facility with the Doctor who originally raised her and helped develop her abilities, Matthew Modine’s ruthless researcher Martin Brenner.
She’s one of the established characters that becomes even more compelling here, as we learn new details of her backstory with Eleven — she calls him Papa, the eighth episode title — while she regains her powers. Works with him to pick up Kare and Vekna.
These episodes work by embracing all of the excesses that drown a typical series in absurd plot twists—like Joyce teaming up with a conspiracy theorist friend of Hopper to rescue him from that Russian prison—that the characters are somehow a part of. -For others to find them exactly when they need it, nose-to-nose homages to classic horror movies like Nightmare on Elm Street or Halloween and bombastic, effects-filled action sequences.
There is a lot of fighting in this season. Famously, the show had to put a caveat on its first episode, which dropped in May a few days after the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and the slaughter of children who grew up in the facility with Eleven.
