The wait is finally over, and Stranger Things Season 5 Vol. 1 has arrived, bringing with it a plethora of exciting moments that will keep fans hooked until the grand finale on December 31.
One of the standout aspects of the season is Will's connection to the hive mind. His ability to tap into this shared consciousness makes him a valuable asset in the battle against Vecna, allowing him to spot incoming threats and ultimately become a game-changer in the fight. This development has been a long time coming, but it's clear that the Duffer Brothers have finally gotten it right.
The radio station is another highlight of the season. Robin's work as a DJ allows her to send covert messages to the team, while also serving as a way for the characters to bond and share moments of levity amidst the chaos. The nostalgic value of the 80s-inspired music and the use of radio signals to track down enemies adds a fun layer of excitement to the season.
On the other hand, there are some aspects that didn't quite hit the mark. Jonathan's obsession with Steve is tiresome and feels like a rehashing of old drama. The lack of explanation for Henry Creel's origin story was also disappointing, given the fanbase's interest in understanding more about his backstory.
However, when it comes to character development and relationships, Stranger Things truly shines. Will and Robin's connection is heartwarming and authentic, while Steve and Dustin's dynamic remains one of the most beloved aspects of the show. Max's return as a hero in her own right is also a welcome addition, and her bond with Eleven is particularly sweet.
The chemistry between the characters has always been a highlight of Stranger Things, but this season takes it to new heights. From Will's psychic powers to Eleven's training montage, each character's growth and development feels earned and satisfying.
As the series hurtles towards its conclusion, fans will be eager to see how everything comes together. With more episodes to come and the grand finale just around the corner, it's clear that Stranger Things Season 5 Vol. 1 is shaping up to be an unforgettable ride.

- it's so cool how they're using 80s-inspired music to bring back memories while also serving as a way for the characters to connect on a deeper level. And I totally agree that Will's connection to the hive mind is a game-changer 
, his abilities are getting more and more interesting with each episode. The character development this season is top-notch 
, especially with how they're handling the relationships between Steve, Dustin, Max, and Eleven 
. My only gripe is that some plot points feel a bit rushed or underexplained (looking at you, Henry Creel's origin story 
), but overall I'm super hyped for the rest of the season!
. It feels like a game-changer for the show, but also kinda raises so many questions? Like, how does it work exactly? And what's the limit of his control over it? It's definitely exciting to see him use it in battle, but I'm curious to see how they'll explore this concept further as the season goes on 
.
Those two are always good for some laughs. But, on a more serious note, I do wish they'd explained Henry Creel's origin story better 
. Will and Robin's connection is so sweet, and Steve and Dustin's friendship remains one of my faves. And Max's return as a hero is awesome! I'm just hoping the finale lives up to the hype 
.
. On the flip side, I'm kinda over Jonathan's drama with Steve already - let's move on from that 
. The only thing that would make this season perfect is more backstory for Henry Creel... come on Duffer Bros! 
.
but seriously, max's return as a hero is everything 
eleven's training montage had me dying 
can't wait to see what the rest of the season has in store! 
️ and got so invested in this one character's storyline that I started imagining the world from their perspective... anyway, back to Stranger Things – have you guys ever noticed how 80s music just takes you back to a different time? Like, I was listening to some old Bon Jovi and suddenly I was 16 again 
. It's crazy how shows like this can transport us to another era.
i'm also loving max's return and her bond with eleven is so sweet 
but idk about jonathan's drama with steve it felt like they were just rehashing old stuff 
. I love how they're using radio signals as a way to track down enemies - it's like something out of a sci-fi movie 
. The only thing that bugged me was Jonathan's obsession with Steve...it felt a bit forced 
. Overall though, this season is shaping up to be EPIC! 
But yeah, I was kinda meh about Jonathan's obsession with Steve, it felt like old drama rehashed 
and Eleven's training montage was EPIC 
Can't wait to see how everything unfolds in the next episodes!!! 
I'm loving how they've deepened Will's character in this season 
it's still one of the best parts of the show, hands down. But what's up with Jonathan's obsession with Steve? feels like they're rehashing old drama 
. Anyway, I'm hyped for the rest of the season 
. Overall, though, I'm super excited for this season and can't wait to see how everything unfolds!
