After nearly 10 years, five seasons<\/a>, several growth spurts, a surprise Kate Bush revival<\/a>, and enough tie-in merch to fill the entire Upside Down, Stranger Things has ended. The occasion was so monumental the last episode got a theatrical release<\/a>\u2014though Netflix dropped the feature-length finale on its streamer, of course, for fans who\u2019d rather finish the show exactly how they started it: on their couch.<\/p>\n

So now that the finale is out there in the world\u2014what are your thoughts? Unlike every other part of season five (and all other previous seasons), Netflix did not release a screener ahead of time for reviewing press. Everyone got their eyeballs on all those juicy spoilers at the same time. So we want to know: what did you think?<\/p>\n

Share your reaction to how it all went down below. We can kind of assume the world was saved in the end, but should we? And along the way, who lived and who died?<\/p>\n

What new needle drops seem poised to catapult another retro artist to fresh chart-topping success? Were there any surprise cameos from Stranger Things seasons past? What questions did the Duffer Brothers finally answer\u2014and were there any plot threads left dangling? Did Netflix stick the landing this time, or do we have another Squid Game situation on our hands? Did Vickie and Robin ever make it to Enzo\u2019s and order dessert?<\/p>\n

Weigh in below, but if you haven\u2019t yet watched \u201cThe Rightside Up,\u201d be warned. Spoilers!<\/p>\n
