“Chapter One: The Crawl”

Wow.

We have been waiting for the final season of Stranger Things for what has seemed like forever. Season four was shown in 2022, and we are just now beginning to prepare for the last season of shows for the Netflix hit.

Four episodes dropped on Thanksgiving eve on Netflix. Episode One was 71 minutes.

It was intense.

The town of Hawkins, Indiana is under quarantine by the military because of the events at the end of season four. The gang is using the military (unbeknownst to them) to carry out their own covert searches of the Upside Down in an attempt to find Vecna and finally put an end to it.

Things do not go well.

Holy cow. What a final few scenes.

Plus, Dustin gets the crap kicked out of him by the basketball punks. Dustin was bringing the Hellfire back around in honor of Eddie. Dustin was having some real problems, poking the bear.

The episode started slowly, but man did it kick into gear.
