While Season 2 Remains a Fan Favorite, &#8216;Stranger Things&#8217; Episode Ranking Tells a Different Story Altogether

Netflix’s Stranger Things [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/] has
given fans four memorable seasons till now. Though every single one had
something unique, viewers think Season 2 was flawless. They believe so because
it took fans to emotionally deeper places than its predecessor did. Also, it
introduced new characters alongside central ones that later played a pivotal
role in the storyline. From suspense to fear to the preteen protagonists working
together to combat an insidious force of evil, everything was chilling. Despite
its nearly perfect qualities, Season 2 has faced defeat in terms of ranking.

Stranger Things has 34 episodes in total which are individually rated depending
on their likeness. And the latest user rating on IMDb tells Season 2 is not the
best

season. Instead, Season 4 took the crown of best-rated episodes of the horror
drama. The penultimate season came out last year and has been called the most
staggering among all the seasons. Considering it did not hold back in any way,
whether it’s gore, suffering, or prominence of death.



The impression that season left on the minds of viewers is now visible on the
aggregate website. Season 4 Episode 7 titled The Massacre at Hawkins Lab has
taken the first spot on the list. Following this comes immensely praised episode
4, Dear Billy,

and Vecna’s mind play totally blew fans away when her character escaped him.
Also, Eleven peeping into her past was something unexpected and truly
horrifying. With all these captivating moments combined, one certainly cannot
deny Season 4 was the most thrilling season.


WHY STRANGER THINGS SEASON 4 IS SIMPLY THE BEST? 

The unparalleled success of Season 4 is a strong indicator that differs it from
the rest. This season broke the viewership records of Seasons 1 and 2 in its
opening weekend itself. In addition to this comes the depth and maturity of the
young cast members whose talent left the audience mesmerized. Not to mention,
the epic visual effects and prosthetic makeup that the creators used to make
things look authentic also won hearts.



Season 4 can be considered the season which truly dwelled on the psychological
horror that this show was meant to present in the first place. And now fans are
waiting for the fifth and final season that will put all their painful
experiences to rest when Eleven kills Vecna for once and all.
