Since its debut in July of 2016, “Stranger Things” has resonated with many viewers due to its perfect mix of supernatural horror, 1980s nostalgia, and heartfelt storytelling. The show is created by the Duffer Brothers and it had become a cultural phenomenon really quickly, receiving acclaim from critics and acquiring a solid fan base. As the show nears the premiere of its fifth and final season, there is a lot of anticipation, as fans keep an eye out for how this gripping saga set in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, concludes.
“Stranger Things” is based in the 1980s, so it catches the spirit of that time brilliantly, referring to pop culture, music, and movies that created a frame for the decade. Everything begins with the strange disappearance of a little boy named Will Byers, in which the story is unfolded by government conspiracies, a world of supernatural creatures, and an alternative universe known as the Upside Down. At its very heart, the series is about a likable group of kids: Mike, Lucas, and Dustin, and Eleven. Layered on top of that are their families and friends, like Joyce Byers and Sheriff Jim Hopper, who have really served to advance and carry the mystery along. It’s in the ability to juggle those small, personal stories with the big, otherworldly stuff where the show truly succeeds.

Over four seasons, “Stranger Things” has become synonymous with an emotional roller coaster that can contain the blend from heartwarming to spine-chilling horror.

The detail and character development in the show are something that has always helped one be glued to the TV screen for more at every turn of “Stranger Things”.
And on top of that, as the show goes towards its fifth season, which is going to be the last one, Duffer Brothers have promised a satisfying end that shuts all open ends and every lingering question. While most of the plot details were left under wraps, there were hints given by the creators that the ultimate fight against the Upside Down will come to a crux and will eventually end with the fate of Hawkins or maybe even the world.
