Netflix trolled after recent crash amid 'Stranger Things' finale release

Netflix’s original series Stranger Things has become a global phenomenon as it turns everything Upside Down for the last time on December 31.

After the fifth season somewhat disappointed fans with plot holes, it has returned with its final ever episode on the streaming giant.

It appears that viewers from around the world tried to stream the platform right after its release on the New Year’s Eve as it reportedly resulted in a brief outage of Netflix.

Although it is not known whether the setback occurred due to the finale of the horror series, the online community trolled Netflix heavily on X (formerly Twitter).

One of the users joked about being irritated, gushing: “I’m tryna watch Stranger Things,” while another shared a gif of Millie Bobby Brown’s serious picture.

A third poked fun at Netflix, asking them to “post the rest of the videos on Youtube.”

While more details are yet to be released by the platform, it is to be noted that this marked the second crash of the app after its first volume came out in November 26.

How many views did Stranger Things Season 5 get? 

This apparently became inevitable as the recent season saw a massive surge in viewership, gaining 59.6 million views.

The first crash that occurred on the streaming platform was confirmed by Ross Duffer, one of the masterminds of the series.

He shared a report that Netflix had to increase their bandwidth by 30%, but still resulted in an outage.
