The world will never forget the show that put Millie Bobby Brown, Sadie Sink, Finn Wolfhard, and the rest of the Stranger Things cast on the map. In fact, even with the series heading into its final season, some fans are still not ready to say goodbye to their fan favorites. However, there are also fans of the series who believe that the series should have ended after its first season.

Recently, a fan of Stranger Things on X (formerly Twitter) shared a post claiming that the show would have been “better off staying a one-season show.” However, without the other seasons, fans would have missed the series’ best scenes and even its characters. From Sadie Sink, who was only introduced in season 2, to Eddie Munson and the gang’s struggle against Vecna in season 4, the seasons following the first only added to the storyline.

After 4 long seasons of watching the show’s plot get more complex and intriguing, fans are going to see the series finally reaching its end. With the fifth and final season set to premiere in 2025, this season will be the cast’s final goodbye. In fact, some of the members like, Millie Bobby Brown are ready to say “thank you and goodbye” to the award-winning show.

While the show may be ending, the latest social media claims about the series being better off as a “one-season show” divided the internet on just how long Stranger Things should have been.

With the SAG-AFTRA strike still ongoing, filming and production for the final season of Stranger Things has been put on hold. However, with all the time in the hands of fans, there have been debates on whether the series should have even made it to the fifth season. Now, after the post on social media, some fans of the series took to the comments section to defend the show that was so close to their hearts.

Other social media users echoed the sentiments of the post’s author and agreed that the later seasons could have been better.

While the latest season may have strayed a bit away from the actual storyline and had fans confused, it is evident that the love for Stranger Things is still as strong as ever. However, after putting fans through a three-year wait for the finale, the expectations for the final season are sure to be through the roof.
