Warning: MAJOR SPOILERS are ahead for Volume 1 of Stranger Things Season 5, with all four episodes available and streaming now with a Netflix subscription. Go back to the Rightside Up if you're not ready for the latest on the Upside Down!
The wait of more than three years to learn what Stranger Things had in store for Hawkins and its unfortunate residents after the catastrophic Season 4 finale is over, and the first volume of Season 5 didn't shy away from showing just how dire the situation is. The final battle has begun, and as the trailer unexpectedly spoiled back in October, the fourth episode ended on Vecna using his powers on Will in a plaza strewn with dead bodies.
