Just finished the Stranger Things finale. No spoilers

I thought the Duffer Brothers really stuck the landing. I bawled my eyes out.
There’s been a lot of hate for this last season.
Mostly due to Will coming out as gay.
Don’t listen to the haters.
Excellent, satisfying ending.

I haven't signed in since. But I had to agree with you. I want to watch the whole show again, with no long breaks from covid and sadly short seasons. It's gonna be a good marathon. A needed mental vacation, to a more dysfunctional universe.

We were all ... something in my eye

It was a good finale. I'd all in all my least favorite season mainly cause it was SO much CGI and not enough time in Hawkins and 'real life' stuff that gave the first two in particular so much charm, but still it was good, worth watching. I don't feel like it was a letdown as I was worrying it could be, put it like that
