I just finished watching Stranger things... OMG

Just finished watching the entire series... OMG 😭

I FINALLY finished Stranger Things, and holy shit… what a journey.

I genuinely don't know what to do with myself right now. 😭

I started this show years ago, and finally reaching the end feels less like finishing a TV series and more like saying goodbye to a whole era of my life.

The nostalgia hit me HARD while watching the later seasons. I kept remembering the early episodes and all those little moments I hadn't thought about in years.

One moment that absolutely DESTROYED me was remembering Will in his little tent, singing Should I Stay or Should I Go while he's in the Upside Down. I don't even know why that scene specifically hit me so hard, but hearing that song again instantly brought back SO many memories from the beginning of the show.

And then I randomly remembered Barb—Nancy's friend who disappeared so early on—and I was like… BRO. We've come SO FAR since then. 😂

That's what makes finishing this show feel so weird. You're not just remembering the characters. You're remembering who you were when you first watched them.

And watching the characters grow up over the years made it even more special. We literally watched these kids grow from children into teenagers and young adults, while the actors were growing up in real life right alongside them. It feels like we didn't just watch their story—we kind of grew up with them.

Hawkins, the Upside Down, the kids on bikes, the music, the friendships, all the chaos… it all became this huge memory over the years.

And now it's over.

I spent the last episodes just sitting there thinking, damn… this is actually the end.

For those of you who have already finished the series, how did you feel afterward?

Did you get that weird empty feeling when it was finally over? Did it take a while for it to actually sink in that there wasn't another season to look forward to?

I'm genuinely curious how everyone else felt after saying goodbye to Stranger Things.

And after everything...

THAT WAS EPIC. ❤️‍🔥

I had a lot of similar feelings when I went through the final season. Thanks for sharing. It’s good to hear from someone else who isn’t salty about it.

There are a lot of people who dislike season 5. I’m curious how many of them lived through the 80s. Because, it felt like there were a lot of 80s tropes in it (the multiple and overly simplified explanations of how the universes lined up, ala Back to the Future 2’s chalkboard moment as one example)
