“The finale doesn't require adjectives. It solely depends on the humane effect it has on us. And it rightfully hits the chords. Duffer Brothers ensured that we all come back to reality.”

“This show, with the shroud of a sci-fi, commented on age-old tortures in the name of experiments conducted by power mongers on the common people, how these tortures left a lifelong impact on their lives, yet, they chose to fight back in their own capacity. As it has been clear to me from the beginning itself, the show is deeply political. More than the urge to breach the realms of the outer world, space, wormhole and magic, what's imperative for us is to fight the evils that we confront in our society.”

“I really loved Dustin’s valedictorian speech. He will always remain my favourite character. Steve cheering for his favourite child was adorable, and him getting a new job again was heart-warming. Mike looking at the kids after his storytelling felt deeply bittersweet for all fans.”
