The newest episode of Gogglebox<\/a> saw our favourite families tuning in to series like Strictly Come Dancing<\/a>, Malice and much more.<\/p>\n

However, some Channel 4<\/a> viewers weren\u2019t impressed with the show selection this week, with one claiming it was \u201cridiculous\u201d for the show to include spoilers for \u201cthe most anticipated series of the year\u201d.<\/p>\n

The complaints on social media were sparked by the inclusion of Stranger Things Season 5: Part 1<\/a>, which landed on Netflix<\/a> yesterday.<\/p>\n

Stranger Things fans have been waiting three years for the fifth and final season of the popular sci-fi show to come out, and many have not yet had a chance to watch the first four episodes.<\/p>\n

The first episode drop happened on November 27, while the remaining episodes will land in the UK on Boxing<\/a> Day and New Year<\/a> \u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

Taking to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter<\/a>, fans expressed their frustration at having to switch channels to avoid spoilers on Gogglebox.<\/p>\n

One asked: \u201cDid Gogglebox really need to ruin Stranger Things by putting it on 2 days after it\u2019s aired\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n

Another fumed: \u201cI know it does spoilers but showing stranger things one of the most anticipated series of the year the day after it\u2019s come out is ridiculous!<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t be the only one that\u2019s had to turn over. #Gogglebox.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another viewer admitted they would be skipping that segment entirely, tweeting: \u201cGogglebox is always spoiler-heavy, so I’ll avoid the Stranger Things section.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Gogglebox households were left on the edge of their seats and even screaming as they watched the events of Stranger Things season 5 unfold.<\/p>\n

Without giving away any spoilers, the clips included a tense chase scene that packed a very emotional punch, which left fans of the show gasping.<\/p>\n

After watching the episode, Jenny remarked that it was \u201cno wonder the kids can\u2019t get to sleep”, while Pete quipped: “I just like how realistic it all is.”<\/p>\n

Stranger Things first aired back in 2016, with a description from IMDb reading: “In 1980s Indiana, a group of young friends witness supernatural forces and secret government exploits.<\/p>\n

“As they search for answers, the children unravel a series of extraordinary mysteries.”<\/p>\n
