When the credits rolled on the Stranger Things finale, we weren’t ready to move on.

In this raw, spoiler-heavy episode, we sit down and process the entire series — from the disappearance that started it all in Season One to the emotional weight of the finale. We walk through each season, discuss character arcs, mythology, trauma, nostalgia, and the real-world inspirations behind the story, before finally sharing how the ending made us feel.

This isn’t a breakdown or a recap — it’s a conversation. Unfiltered, reflective, and honest.

⚠️ Full spoilers for all seasons of Stranger Things.
