Another fan wrote, “#StrangerThings Vol.1 is a fantastically frightening and bloody trip. Steve and Robin are still the GOATs, but Sadie Sink delivers a mammoth performance, while the bumper sized episodes don’t feel long at all. Can’t wait to see Vol.2”

However, it hasn’t been all praise. Some longtime fans felt disappointed with certain aspects of the season’s start — calling parts of it “corny,” flawed, or underwhelming compared to the hype built over the three‑year wait.

final thoughts: too overstuffed, badly paced, clearly struggling w too many characters. they can still deliver on standout, powerful moments (end of ep 4) but it’s a shame we have to sit through so much repetitiveness to get there. #StrangerThings5 https://t.co/sP7xtUZPma
