Season 4 is much darker and scarier than all the previous seasons. The horror element is making people love the series more than ever and they shared their initial reactions on social media. Fans didn’t shy away from calling it the “best season yet” and praised the makers for such an astounding show.

One of the fans wrote, “Volume 1 of new Stranger Things – incredible. Definitely dialed up the scariness. Gutted about having to wait until 1st July for volume 2.” Another social media user wrote, “Ok, well that was AMAZING. I’d say the best season of the series. Sadie, Millie, and Jaime were the best performances IMO. Robin is my new fave, CGI was on point, and I need Nancy/Steve to happen again. Overall 10/10 season.”

“Stranger Things 4 was so good! I watched it all day. I love it when you watch a show and have no idea what’s coming next,” tweeted another fan. “#StrangerThings4 feels like a scrapped Nightmare on Elm Street film and I LOVE it. Definitely my favorite season so far.”

Meanwhile, there were many who were left flabbergasted after the ending of Volume 1 and labeled it “insane”.

“Just finished episode 7 of #StrangerThings4 and HOLY F*****G SHIT. I can’t wait for the other two ep. to come out. This has been insane. Well worth the wait,” wrote another Twitter user. “HOLY. F*****G. SHIT. Episode 7 literally has me sitting here with my jaw dropping!” said another one.

Another fan opined, “Wow stranger things season 4 volume 1 ending got me too hyped for volume 2! This keeps getting better wow.” Another fan tweeted, “The writers, producers, and actors never let me down when it comes to this show!! This is definitely what I needed right now!! Worth the wait!!”

Social media can’t stop praising the latest season for being visually stunning and extraordinary in terms of storytelling. Fans have waited three years for the new season of ‘Stranger Things’ and it seems Season 4 was worth the wait.

The ending of Volume 1 saw Nancy Wheeler and Steve Harrington being the last ones to enter Hawkins after being trapped in the Upside Down. However, Vecna manages to capture Nancy and tells her that he is the son of Victor Creel. He gives her the complete picture of killing his mother and sister and putting the blame on Victor. He was eventually experimented upon at Hawkins by Dr. Brenner. However, everyone is worried for Nancy because she is unable to escape Vecna.

Will she make it out alive or become one of the main characters to die in the fourth season? We would have to wait till July for getting an answer to that question.

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