The final chapters of Stranger Things Season 5 have finally arrived, and the ending of Episode 7 has left fans around the world in total shock. To help viewers understand the complicated plot, Netflix has released a detailed guide explaining the big twists and what they mean for the future of Hawkins. As the battle against Vecna reaches its peak, the show is focusing on deep emotional moments and the survival of the main group of friends. There are several key things fans need to know about this season, including how it connects back to the very first episodes of the series to bring the story to a close.
However, despite the massive hype, not everyone is happy with the new episodes. Some major critics have given the show a very low rating of just 1.5 stars, claiming that the series has lost its original spark. These reviews argue that the show is now “running on goodwill alone,” meaning it only feels popular because people already love the characters, rather than because the story is actually good. While many fans are still enjoying the nostalgia and the special effects, these critics feel the plot has become too slow and predictable. This has started a huge debate online between loyal fans who love the ending and those who think the show should have finished much sooner.
