🎬 Stranger Things Finale (Spoiler-Free Review)

How dare you make me feel my own feelings… (did you get the movie reference???)

But seriously!!!!

No spoilers. Just a light amount of emotional damage.

The Stranger Things finale said:

“Here, have closure.”

“But also… sit with that.”

From a writer’s perspective?

• The tension was earned

• The callbacks were intentional

• The character arcs actually meant something

Was it perfect? No. Was it satisfying? Yes.

Did it feel like a love letter to the characters, the audience, and the story they’ve been telling since Season 1? Absolutely.

I laughed. I stressed. I clutched a blanket like it was emotional support.

And when it ended, I just sat 🤯

Volume 2 had me worried, but this finale… it understood the assignment.

Now excuse me while I stare at the wall and think about storytelling for the next 48 business hours. 🖤📺✨

I saw a lot of people loved this book, and don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t terrible. I just personally didn’t enjoy it too much. It was short so even when I got bored, it was easy to get through, but the writing style was confusing at times and not my cup of tea. The plot idea was nice but I don’t
