STRANGER THINGS 5 EPISODE 8 REACTION! Series Finale | Netflix

We’re reacting to the series finale of Stranger Things Season 5 Episode 8, “The Rightside Up,” the epic conclusion to Netflix’s hit sci-fi horror series created by the Duffer Brothers. In this emotional and action-packed finale, the Hawkins crew launches Operation Beanstalk in a last-ditch effort to stop Vecna and prevent the Upside Down from fully merging with the real world. Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Hopper (David Harbour), Joyce (Winona Ryder), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Will (Noah Schnapp), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), Max (Sadie Sink) and allies like Kali and Murray come together for a final stand that defines the fate of Hawkins once and for all.

Stranger Things 5x8 delivers massive set pieces, emotional character payoffs, and a powerful epilogue set 18 months after the final battle, showing how the world begins to heal after the destruction of the Upside Down. The finale leaves Eleven’s fate intentionally ambiguous, with Mike’s closing narration offering hope and inviting fans to interpret what comes next. “The Rightside Up” ties together nearly nine years of storytelling, mythology, and character arcs, cementing Stranger Things as one of the most influential TV series of its generation.

In this Stranger Things finale reaction and discussion, we break down why the ending works, how the show sticks the landing, and how Season 5 delivers closure for longtime fans while honoring everything that came before.
