L’intermission – Stranger Things

Upside Down

Everyone’s favorite sci-fi and horror series returned to screens this summer after a grueling three-year wait due to pandemic production delays. During the second half of Stranger Things 4’s release, which featured two final episodes debuting on July 1, Netflix temporarily crashed due to the influx of eager fans awaiting answers to what will happen in the Upside Down (the world’s alternate dimension). The show continued to surpass Netflix’s top-ranking series (including Bridgerton) and, during its first twenty-eight days, boasted more than 930.3 million hours viewed. This landed the record for the most-watched English-language Netflix series, outranked only by the South Korean drama Squid Game.
