While everyone is sleeping… the demogorgons wake up. Today at 2 a.m. Polish time, the first four episodes of the long-awaited 5th season of “Stranger Things” premiered. The final season is very popular, as evidenced by the Netflix servers, which in the first moments could not handle the load and the service did not work for about 3 minutes, and many users had to deal with many errors a few moments later.
There are already four fresh episodes waiting for viewers, lasting about an hour – did the Duffer brothers cope with the huge expectations of the viewers? Let’s see how our almost adult favorites deal with Vecna and the military cordon surrounding Hawkins!
From the very first moment we see that a huge change has taken place in all our heroes. Finally, for the first time in a long time, all our favorites are working together from the very beginning. There is no longer a division between the youngest heroes and their parents who do not suspect anything. Joyce, Hopper, Nancy, Robin, Steve and Jonathan work hand in hand with Nastka and the other guys to find Vecna.
And this is not an easy task, because not only is our main antagonist cleverly hiding, but the army is constantly hot on their heels, determined to do everything to find Nastka.
A lot has also changed in Will’s behaviorwho immediately informs the team that something bad is happening, and his peers are also more sensitive to any of his behavior that deviates from the norm.
The finale of season 4 was extremely emotional – we said goodbye to Eddie Munson (JosephQuinn), who, although he was only a one-season character, fans loved him with all their hearts.
Today, Munson still remains a murderer in the minds of the town’s inhabitants, but Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) cannot forget his friend. He still wears a Hellfire club T-shirt, takes care of his grave, and is often beaten for commemorating him.
Long-awaited returns, new friendships and alliances await us.
In the second episode, we get a decent dose of emotions, and more characters who have so far remained away from the chaos with the Other Side are introduced into the game. As you can see, Vecna will stop at nothing to plunge the world into chaos, and above all, it strikes a chord with the characters and viewers.
The end of episode 4 is practically all action, which brings more unexpected meetings and new questions, but we still have to wait for the answers.
The characters have come a long way to get to this point in history and perhaps save the world one last time – this time for good.
After many years of waiting, Hopper has learned to talk to Nastka about his feelings, Will becomes friends with Robin and they openly discuss romantic relationships, and Jonathan is getting ready to take a serious step.
The first part of the long-awaited finale provides us with horror, but in a style known to us from previous seasons – subtle chills, disturbing events and tiny hints that something is coming.
With a smile, I think about one of the fragments that looked like it was straight out of… “Home Alone”but nevertheless showing that the team has learned to cooperate with each other and they are doing it really well.
Having learned from the experience of Season 4, I know that asking for more is probably a mistake that will end in a fountain of tears.z. But I will be looking forward to the next episodes, which will debut on December 26, and the grand finale will be on January 1.
The characters and creators did not lose heart for their story and you can feel that they tried to do everything not to repeat the production mistakes that let us down years ago by promising too much. There is hope, so We are waiting for the next episodes and keep our fingers crossed.
