Stranger Things five, volume one review: The final series is 'thrilling' so far
and

The Netflix sci-fi is back after a three-year wait, with its young stars now in their 20s – and the first four episodes of this final season suggest an "all-time ending" is in store.

It's almost hard to believe that a decade ago, the concept of the Upside Down didn't exist. Such was the storytelling skill of the Duffer brothers in conceiving Stranger Things, that from the very first series in 2016, the fantasy world they created, and its lore, felt fully realised.

And while the show was heavily indebted to films like The Goonies and ET, very quickly Stranger Things proved it was worth far more than the sum of its parts. The 80s-set sci-fi following a group of young friends, protecting each other from the dark forces that have sprung from a portal inadvertently ripped open by a sinister human testing lab, is now one of Netflix’s most-watched series of all time.

Netflix crashes within minutes of releasing Stranger Things series five

When Netflix crashed within minutes of releasing Stranger Things series five, it felt like a plot twist worthy of the sci-fi show itself.

Viewers were left unable to stream the opening episodes of the long-awaited final series, with many voicing their frustration on social media platforms.

The outage tracker Downdetector recorded more than 14,000 reports in the US, while fans in India reported the streaming service freezing and displaying connection errors, with 200 reports made in the country during its peak.

“Some members briefly experienced an issue streaming on TV devices, but service recovered for all accounts within five minutes,” Netflix said in an emailed response reported by Reuters.
Netflix has previously crashed while hosting major events such as the Mike Tyson v Jake Paul boxing bout and a live reunion for the reality dating show Love is Blind in 2024. Netflix also had a brief outage when the final two episodes of the fourth season of Stranger Things were released in 2022.

Ross Duffer, series co-creator, said on his Instagram that Netflix had “increased bandwidth by 30% to avoid a crash”.

A day before the series finale was due to drop, all previous Stranger Things seasons made it to Netflix’s top 10 shows charts, a first for any show on the streaming platform.

Get ready, witches and wizards! The highly anticipated sequel, Wicked: For Good, has officially cast a spell over North American audiences, conjuring a staggering, record-breaking $150 million at the box office on its opening weekend! This monumental success is setting the stage for what promises to be one of the biggest cinematic events of the year, captivating fans across the USA and beyond.

While the film's dazzling visuals and powerful performances are sweeping everyone off their feet, it's the behind-the-scenes magic and one particular, endlessly quotable moment from Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh that has truly gone viral. Director Jon M. Chu, known for his lavish productions like Crazy Rich Asians, confirmed a delightful Easter egg in Wicked: For Good – Glinda's wedding sequence subtly echoes the iconic, lush wedding from Crazy Rich Asians. Chu himself acknowledged the striking similarity, stating, "And, yes, it did evoke a little bit of that Crazy Rich Asians feel, but in real life, because in Oz, it's all possible." This nod has fans in both the US and UK excitedly re-watching both films to spot the connections.

But the real internet sensation sweeping the US and UK is Michelle Yeoh, who plays the formidable Madame Morrible. During the film's press tour, Yeoh has repeatedly, and with unforgettable flair, explained her character's initials. Holding up three fingers on each hand, she triumphantly demonstrates how "MM" for Madame Morrible can be "flipped around" to become "WW" – for "Wicked Witch!" Her consistent, enthusiastic delivery, complete with the iconic hand gesture, has created a viral phenomenon reminiscent of Lady Gaga's "100 people in a room" moment. From The Today Show to The Graham Norton Show and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Yeoh's "MM to WW" explanation has spawned countless clips, memes, and fan remixes.

This commitment to her character, even in a simple initial explanation, has endeared her to millions and created a buzz that’s almost as big as the film itself. Have you spotted the Crazy R
