Netflix released the final episode of Stranger Things at 01:00 GMT on Thursday, ending the show’s 10-year run. The two-hour finale caused heavy traffic and briefly slowed Netflix servers for some users. Fans also watched the episode at special cinema events held in several US and Canadian cities, where cast members made appearances. The series, set in the town of Hawkins, began in 2016 and starred Millie Bobby Brown, Winona Ryder and David Harbour. The final chapter showed the last fight against Vecna and the Mind Flayer and included an epilogue set 18 months later, offering closure to most main characters. (PC: BBC)
