Here's a small sampling of the love fans are showing Stranger Things Season 4: 

" Arguably the best season, it's very different and I like different. It stands out but connects to the rest of the storyline. Highly recommend it" --Cohen V

"Probably the best season yet! It has everything you love about stranger things and MORE! One of the best seasons of a show Netflix has ever put out." --Tarik R

"There's nothing like this show. THIS SHOW IS GODLY. Every episode had me on edge. Well done. 10/10." --Jaz R

As always, the Internet is far from bieng a place of total support and positivity – here's what the Stranger Things 4 haters are saying: 

"I really enjoyed the previous seasons, but this season was just kinda meh. The orginal formula was : The kinds are in goonies and the adults are in Jaws. This season didn't stick to that formula. Change is good but if it aint broke don't fix it." --Craig F

"There was no need for this season to be so long. There was no reason for Hopper to be back and have the Russia storyline which was the worst part of the season. Besides the Eleven storyline and bits and pieces of the Hawkins/Cali plots this season was questionable. Millie Bobby Brown gives an amazing performance as always and the rest of the cast do great with what they're given but the magic that Stranger Things once had is long gone." --Miriam O

Stranger Things Season 4 (vol. 1) is now streaming on Netflix.
