Stranger Things farewell

No doubt about it, Stranger Things was a phenomenon. The show hit all the right notes for me (80s nostalgia, teen drama, sci-fi, pop culture, coming of age) and Season 5 didn’t disappoint. It’s hard for the final season of these TV classics to match previous seasons (Season 4 was peak Stranger Things), so you have to cut the writers some slack because they have a lot of loose ends to tie up. Others will disagree, but I think the Duffer Brothers did a really great job. 

My own kids have grown up with the cast, and we’ve watched every season together going back years. It was an absolute treat to sit and watch this final season together with them as they come of age themselves. We have our own nostalgia of the nostalgia now.

Bravo Netflix, and hats off to the Duffers for creating this bonafide classic.
