Love the finale or hate it, the Duffer brothers created the best TV series ever. For 10 years, they kept thousands of people glued to the screen with a multiple-rejected idea. Hard to match what Stranger Things achieved.

A never-ending story for our heroes.

In this scene, they're not the characters. They're the actors saying goodbye to their childhood.#StrangerThings5 pic.twitter.com/xQtcHz1bhC

This scene was so emotional, so beautifully done, and so heartbreaking.

It showed how much they each lost, what they went through, and their heartbreak.
Props to the Duffer brothers.

My favorite scene from tonight. I love how the story started with Joyce trying to find her son, and it ended with her being the one to end it all.

JAMIE CAMPBELL 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 His performance as Henry Creel was nothing short of legendary. Regardless of how people felt on Season 5, his incredible performance is undeniable. #StrangerThings5 pic.twitter.com/lTufl191k0
