Greg & John's STRANGER THINGS 4 Reactions: • Stranger Things Season 4

With the FINAL season upon us, Greg & John RETURN to give their Stranger Things 5 Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review!

Greg Alba & John Humphrey react to Episodes 1 & 2 of Stranger Things Season 5, the epic final season of the Duffer Brothers’ sci-fi horror phenomenon. Set in Fall 1987, Hawkins is scarred by the opened Rifts and placed under military quarantine, while Vecna has vanished and the gang races to reunite for one last fight to save their town — and reality itself.

Episode 1 ("The Crawl") kicks off with what the creators call their “most eventful premiere yet,” and the first minutes dramatically return to Will Byers’ original 1983 disappearance, tying Season 5 directly back to the show’s beginning and teasing long-awaited Upside Down answers.

Episode 2 ("The Vanishing Of Holly Wheeler") is teased as having the “craziest cold open” in the series, hinting at a new, terrifying disappearance that echoes the show’s earliest mysteries — and sets the tone for the final run.

The legendary ensemble returns including Millie Bobby Brown (Enola Holmes, Godzilla: King of the Monsters) as the fierce, determined Eleven; Finn Wolfhard (IT, Ghostbusters: Afterlife) as the good-hearted Mike Wheeler; Noah Schnapp (Hubie Halloween, The Tutor) as the wise Will Byers; Gaten Matarazzo (Les Misérables on Broadway, Prank Encounters) as tech-savvy Dustin Henderson; Caleb McLaughlin (Concrete Cowboy, High Flying Bird) as the ever-faithful Lucas Sinclair; Sadie Sink (The Whale, Fear Street Part Two) as the comatose Max Mayfield; Winona Ryder (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands) as protective mother Joyce Byers; David Harbour (Black Widow, Violent Night) as the hardened Jim Hopper; Natalia Dyer (Yes, God, Yes; Chestnut) as the tenacious Nancy Wheeler; Joe Keery (Free Guy, Fargo) as the lovable Steve Harrington, & MORE!

With Hawkins on lockdown, the Upside Down bleeding into reality, and the story circling back to Will’s first encounter with darkness, these opening episodes launch the final season with huge stakes, eerie nostalgia, & that signature Stranger Things blend of friendship, horror, and heart.
