'Stranger Things' and endings

Over the Christmas holidays, Netflix released the final series of Stranger Things.

Since the first series in 2016, we’ve followed the outbreak of a dark, supernatural force in Hawkins, Indiana, the machinations of the US government and the military, and the children and teenagers who band together to confront it all.

None of the subsequent series have delighted me quite as much as the first, but I’ve watched each one since, unable to resist spending more time in Hawkins, Indiana.
