It’s the end of the Stranger Things debut long weekend, and we are now four hours into the final season with four more episodes (some over an hour) to go.
Netflix has done something unusual this time around with a three-part split over the course of a single month, and something even stranger (no pun intended) given that it has decided to plant these Stranger Things season 5 episodes on the three major holidays of this time period.
On top of that, Stranger Things Volume 3 is also getting a limited theatrical release with showtimes that begin simultaneously on New Year’s Eve at 5 PM, something the Duffer brothers convinced Netflix to do given the scale of the event. The pitch of this season is that it’s effectively a bunch of blockbuster movies strung together. From the first four, you can kind of get that impression, but it’s supposed to escalate from here.
