An emotional farewell to the series. This documentary highlights the blood, sweat, and tears of the crew. While it doesn't fix all the finale's plot holes, seeing the passion behind the scenes provides closure. A good tribute.

...this documentary isn’t the return to Hawkins that many were hoping for, and it’s a pretty standard look behind the scenes of a major production. But it’s also a welcome change of pace...

Like the show’s endgame in microcosm: There’s some interesting stuff here, but it’s way longer than it needed to be.

It reveals nothing that changes the perception of the ending, provides no context to re-evaluate the controversial conclusion, and doesn't offer the kind of closure that other series have achieved. [Full review in Spanish]

This documentary will give fans one last opportunity to bid farewell and reflect on the rollercoaster journey we got to enjoy from our couches over the last ten years.

Offers fans a look at the process of making the show, and the emotions involved with concluding it. It is perhaps the first proper DVD extra on the Netflix platform.

Actual quote from the Duffer Brothers: "You see these shows that people love and adore, and the ending falters. And they just discard the rest of the show. We can't leave anything dangling. We have to wrap everything up". And then they proceed to do exactly what they didn't want to happen and waste all their time during those 3 years which they should have written the script in, which in turn caused them to end up rushing the script during filming. Causing season 5 to end up being badly written because of this.

This had no resemblance to the power of the Making Of with F.R.I.E.N.D.S. or Modern Family. It was far too long.

This is a nice and standard documentary which shows some decent behind-the-scenes looks at production, script writing, and acting for Stranger Things Season 5.
