Some users faced login issues on Netflix while trying to watch the 'Stranger Things' finale. Similar technical glitches occurred during Season 5's premiere. Despite the crash, the series achieved massive global viewership. Creator Ross Duffer reflected on the show's journey in a heartfelt Instagram post, marking the end of an era.

Netflix users faced a brief setback on Wednesday night as they attempted to access the finale of 'Stranger Things', the beloved series known for its adventure-filled narrative, 80s nostalgia, and the mysterious Upside Down.

Despite these technical challenges, 'Stranger Things' Season 5 emerged as a global success. During the week of December 22-28, the season garnered 34.5 million views, marking its second-highest weekly total after an impressive 59.6 million views during its November debut. Creator Ross Duffer commemorated the series' conclusion with an emotional Instagram tribute, reflecting on a decade of storytelling that brought the cast and crew together as family.
