Critics Consensus

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.

At first I was skeptical about this season having 9 episodes just like season 2, but then the first episodes had a faster pacing. In the end the pacing got more slow but the finale episode was absolute cinema.

Best season yet, best villain, best soundtracks and storyline

Even though it felt like it was short, this new season left us with some memes and some new characters that we would've liked to spend more time with but unfortunately shit happened to them and we were left with a bit of sadness by the end of it.

Best season with the best moments. Vecna is hands down the best villain the series has seen.

This is the last season of Stranger Things that seems true to the original, albeit darker and more complex. Character relationships expand, as does the danger, while everything remains cinematically enjoyable.
