Stranger Things is Being Review Bombed

A unique release plan for the fifth season of Stranger Things has sparked a lot of discussion. The first four episodes came out in November, but fans had to wait nearly a month for the next three. The final set of episodes – episodes eight and nine – are expected to arrive on New Year’s Eve 2025, with a shorter gap between releases intended to maintain viewer engagement as the story reaches its climax. While some fans have expressed disappointment with this staggered release, most of the criticism surrounding the final season has actually focused on how certain beloved characters are portrayed and the direction of the plot.
