Stranger Things S5 E8 - The Right Side Up (Series Finale) Jan 03, 2026

Show notes

“The Right Side Up” wraps up Stranger Things with one final fight for Hawkins. The stakes are high, the emotions hit hard, and by the end, we laughed, we cheered, and yeah… most of us cried. It’s a fitting goodbye that reminds us why this show meant so much in the first place. But…Did they stick the landing storywise?
