Winter TV Finales - Stranger Things - Season Four

The fourth season of the hit US Netflix science fiction horror drama, Stranger Things has just concluded its volume two run.

Split in two volumes, for the fourth EPIC season,  the first set of seven episodes were released on May 27, while the final two episodes released on July 1. It took me that long to keep up with some of these movie length episodes.

Returning cast Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Priah Ferguson, Matthew Modine and Paul Reiser, Brett Gelman,Jamie Campbell Bower, Joseph Quinn, Eduardo Franco and Cara Buono also star. Tom Wlaschiha, Nikola Đuričko & Mason Dye, yep there are a lot of characters to keep up with this season.

Stranger Things 4 has been met with positive reviews. Critics praised the performances of Brown, McLaughlin, Sink, Bower & Quinn, the visuals, action sequences, and the darker, more mature tone compared to previous seasons. 

However like me, some criticized it for being overstuffed due to the lengthier episode runtimes compared to previous seasons. The 9th episode of this season for example is well over 2 hours. That took 3 sittings for me to conclude this season.

When will the fifth and final season return you ask? Well that is really anyones guess at this late stage! Oh well time will tell. This is definitely Netflix's biggest title right now. So delaying it, may be a tactic to hold onto that declining subscriber base.

Netflix need big titles and NOW! Stranger Things streams both volumes one and two of season four right now! With the big wet continuing (STILL!) this is a show you can easily sink your teeth into right now to avoid wet shoes, socks and everything in between. Later I'm off to Bali, like now! BOY BYE!
