Stranger Things 5 Part 1 | Review | Worth the Hype?

Stranger Things 5 is here! My family binge-watched the first four episodes on Thanksgiving night and WOW — this feels like the biggest TV event in YEARS. Netflix literally crashed from demand. In this review, I break down what worked, what didn’t, and why this season feels epic like Season 4… but personal like Season 1. The stakes are higher, the characters are finally together, and it all feels like we are racing toward the endgame. What did YOU think of Stranger Things 5 Part 1?
