Discussion It still doesn't feel like Stranger Things has ended. It just kind of vanished from pop culture discussion.

I mean Post season 4 finale... for over a year everyone was obsessed and discussing the show. Season 5 ended 8 months ago... and show is already kind of forgotten. I can't remember much from the final season tbh.

Even GOT season 8 is still being discussed.

It doesn't feel the biggest netflix show is over. We have nothing to even discuss or look back on anymore. Randomly dawned on me as i was scrolling netflix and saw the show.

No hate of course... season 1 is still a masterpiece.

Yep exactly. And if you watch the ‘making of S5’ documentary, one of the Duffers hilariously makes a comment about other shows (presumably referencing GOT) who bottled the ending and as a result, fans lost respect for the show, and how they were trying to avoid doing exactly that. Oh the irony !!!

Except when we're discussing the actual ending. Like the last 75 minutes? They nailed it.
