After a long wait of 3 years, the fourth season of ‘Stranger Things’ is finally streaming on Netflix and without any guesses, it has opened to a bumper response. The series sees the gang returning for another adventure and this time, things are more intense than ever. A new villain has emerged and Hawkins is in danger once again.

In the initial episodes of the latest edition, Vecna is wreaking havoc in Hawkins by killing innocent students of Hawkins High School, including Chrissy Cunningham and Fred. After claiming these lives, the evil leech went after Max (Sadie Sink). When Max got to know that Vecna is after her, she gave up initially and thought that she is going to die. However, her friends were refusing to back down and will help her at any cost.

“Also, someone give Sadie Sink her Oscar, Emmy whatever tf for her performance in dear billy. I can’t stress enough how amazing she was in that. The episode as a whole kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time omfg,” tweeted another user.



 

“So first to start off with the stuff I really liked! Eps1-4 and ep 7 are extremely strong. Some of the best stuff the show has ever put out. Max's storyline is especially great and Sadie Sink's acting is incredible,” wrote another fan of the show.



 

On the other hand, there were some who simply called Sadie’s acting “phenomenal”. One fan wrote, “Sadie Sink, you are phenomenal.” Another social media user wrote, “Sadie Sink’s acting this season of #StrangerThings is absolutely incredible. She is killing it!”



 



 

“Just finished Dear Billy and I’m utterly speechless it was such a phenomenal episode all around. Sadie Sink is absolutely brilliant and had me in tears for the entire end of the episode. Nothing else to say but WOW! So damn good!!!” tweeted another fan.



 

Sadie has been one of the main cast members of ‘Stranger Things’ since Season 2. Since then, we have seen her character suffer many setbacks, including her brother Billy. His death completely changed Max and as she started experiencing massive headaches and nosebleeds. It turns out that it was Vecna who was making her relive that sad moment again and made her feel guilty about not being able to do anything for Billy. She didn’t even feel like sharing things with her friends, but soon she realized, how precious they are.

They were able to save her from Vecna and bring her back to the real world after a dangerous encounter with the monster.

'Stranger Things' Season 4 Volume 1 is currently streaming on Netflix.
