Stranger Things Season 5 (2025) created by the Duffer Brothers
With the town of Hawkins under a military lock-down, all the factions are trying to accomplish something. The heroes are trying to hunt down Vecna in the Upsidedown, using technology and grit, even though Vecna supposedly was destroyed at the end of the last season. The military are looking for Eleven (Mille Bobbie Brown), who is trying to lay low but also participate in the hunt for Vecna. The Upsidedown baddies (maybe led be Vecna?) kidnap a seemingly random citizen of Hawkins, which brings on the confusion and shifting priorities for the good guys. Mayhem ensues from there.
The final season is exciting and pulls most everything together for a big blow-out ending. Some of the character bits feel too drawn out (like the "coming out of the closet" scene) but most are right on target. The action is fun and, for the most part, well thought out. Everyone gets a moment of heroism and their narratives end in satisfying ways. It's a good ending to the show which felt a little wobbly in the last season.
Recommended.
As I write this (January 2025), this is only available streaming on Netflix.
