Stranger Things Final episodes, with spoilers.
Edit: I've now been told that there will be another season.
It wasn't a terrible ending but I'm slightly underwhelmed. It didn't have any of the epic emotional punch that Max and Kate Bush inspired at the end of episode 4.
There are too many open ends: as though its setting itself up for another season. It's a good show but it is thinning on ideas so a fifth season would be running up the hill (sorry!)
It ends with Vecnar's final prophecy coming true and dark powers emerging into the real world in an impeding apocalypses. How the character's are going to stop that is really unclear. Max (as the final sacrifice) was in a coma but has she dies off-camera to fulfil Vecnor's mission? If so, it's bad writing and if not, it makes no sense narratively. There are also character relationship issues left unresolved so it makes it seem like the writers want another season.
If this is not the final season, then I don't have confidence that the writers can do justice to more of the same. If this was the final season, then its a apocalyptical and also maddeningly unresolved ending.
All considered, it would have been better to try an resolve things in the time available. If only the writers had used the same effort and imagination that they came up with during the end of episode 4.
