At the time of writing, Stranger Things season 5 sits at 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, though we expect that score to change as more reviews come in (and again when Volume 2 and the finale arrive). As it stands, though, that's a series-low score: down over 10% from season 1's 97%, and down from season 2's 94% and season 3 and 4's 89%.

"Five seasons in and Steve + Will still acting like coworkers on different shifts. I'm screaming," said one fan, while others tried to provide a sensible explanation for this decision: "It's because Jonathan hates Steve and Will knows this, that's why Will is avoiding contact with Steve as much as possible."

Since Netflix’s Stranger Things premiered in 2016, one specific mystery has remained unanswered. But after nine years of theories and smokescreens, season 5’s first batch of episodes, which released on November 26, finally revealed the “why” behind ...

The Stranger Things season 5 premiere included a phone number on a "missing teen" poster for Millie Bobby Brown's "Jane Hopper," also known as Eleven. When EW called the number, a chilling message played. Stranger Things is set to conclude with a December finale.

Those who binge-watched the first four Season 5 episodes of Netflix’s beloved sci-fi series will wait a few weeks for Volume 2.
