Darker and denser than its predecessors, Stranger Things' fourth chapter sets the stage for the show's final season in typically bingeworthy fashion.

Not a Must Watch

When you watch these episodes from this new series, it doesn't really offer anything deeper, such as a deep dive into the characters or their relationships. There's just more plot.

B-

Now that most of them have been reunited with a common goal, it’s promising to believe that the fifth and final season will split the difference between the streamlined third and bloated fourth chapters to find the perfect middle ground.

How refreshing it is, then, to find that the just-concluded fourth season returns to the brilliant heights of its first.

4/5

Darker, grittier, and more mature than previous seasons, the fourth go-round with this fantasy/horror series channels 1980s horror, especially Nightmare on Elm Street, for its continuing narrative.

4.5/5

My biggest question that I have is: “How are The Duffer Brothers going to top this?” It’s going to be difficult, for sure, but I trust them to finish out this story the right way.

In the build-up to the final season, the Duffer Brothers ensure that the coming-of-age themes still resonate during several memorable — and surprisingly emotional — scenes where characters have to usurp their personal demons and rise to the occasion.

Suddenly everyone is stupid, there’s too many new characters, and yet again everyone in the main cast has complete plot armor.

The upside down scenes were more boring and Eddie was so overrated but Erica also got more useful. S4 also has the iconic max scene

Go into this season expecting everything and it'll give you more. I still get shivers when watching Max's scene (in a good way)

Stranger Things Season 4 feels bigger, darker, and heavier than what came before, but it still knows exactly why people care about this story. The mix of ’80s adventure, horror, and emotional coming-of-age drama is still there, only now everything hurts more: fear, grief, guilt, and the sense that childhood is over for good. The season sometimes stretches itself too far with long episodes and scattered subplots, and there are moments when the scale threatens to overwhelm the characters. But whenever it tightens the focus, especially around Hawkins, it regains that powerful mix of heart, suspense, and atmosphere that made the show special in the first place. Not perfect, but ambitious, emotional, and often genuinely thrilling.
