The highly-anticipated finale of Netflix's popular web series Stranger Things dropped on December 31, but the excitement was short-lived for many fans. As soon as they logged in to watch the more than 2-hour-long episode, the app crashed, sparking a wave of frustration and humor on social media. Fans had predicted this outcome, with many taking to X (formerly Twitter) before the episode's release to share their concerns and pleas to Netflix not to crash. And, as expected, the app gave up on them, leading to a meme fest on the platform. Some fans even came up with creative explanations for the crash, blaming it on the show's villain, Vecna, who allegedly broke the Netflix login page rather than the world. Others joked that the Upside Down must have better Wi-Fi, while one fan dragged celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay into the feud, saying 'Get your **** together' to Netflix. This is not the first time Stranger Things has caused a Netflix crash, with the Season 5 Volume 1 debut also resulting in a widespread outage. The show, created by the Duffer Brothers, has been a Netflix staple since its release in 2016, with its nostalgic 80s vibe and thrilling storylines captivating audiences worldwide. The finale marked the end of a decade-long journey for fans, who had been following the story of Eleven and her friends as they battled supernatural forces in the Upside Down. Despite the technical issues, the episode was a fitting conclusion to the beloved series, which will undoubtedly be remembered for years to come.
