The fourth season of Stranger Things, arguably one of the most popular Netflix series, finally concluded earlier this month.
It was reported that Netflix crashed for a brief period as millions of fans rushed to the streaming platform after the final episodes of Season Four went live.
As is with all trending pop culture topics, fans expressed their feelings about the show with memes on social media. While many used older meme formats, others created new memes using shots from the newly-released episodes of the science-fiction horror series.

Many netizens noted that while they did not watch the show themselves, they still quite enjoyed the memes related to the show. “Never watched stranger things but you will catch me liking the memes cause they are funny,” wrote a Twitter user.
As Twitter brimmed with Stranger Things-related memes, many people also complained about spoilers that were not so subtly mentioned in many tweets.
