Can't Wait for Season 5!!

Volume 2 of season Four was amazing. Very well written plot and story telling with many action sequences. The Finale was over 2 hours long and was a very emotional epsiode. Multiple deaths of primary characters in Vol. 2 which was intense. The seperate story lines of the season converge into one by the end leading to a great finale, wrapping up many loose ends. The ending sets up the story nicely for Season 5, the final season of Stranger Things! The Duffer Brothers said Season 5 will be intense from the get-go and last the whole final season. They also said it made the netflix team cry when it was pitched to them. Can't wait for the conclusion of a Legendary show!! (Excellent song choice for Eddy's guitar solo in the finale)
