'Stranger Things' Documentary excites fans after debut: Hidden episode?

Stranger Things ended with its final-ever episode on December 31, 2025 after running for nearly a decade on Netflix.

Although the series was an overall hit, the show was heavily criticised for its weak writing in the much-anticipated season 5.

Despite extreme backlash, one final project of Stranger Things premiered on the streaming platform which gives a glimpse of emotional goodbyes, table reads and exclusive behind the scenes.

The online community is divided on the topic of One Last Adventure, debating whether watching the series is worth watching after the series left them "disappointed."

Many were hoping that the Duffer Brothers might surprise the audience with a secret episode 9, a proper ending and closure to the plot holes.

One of the X users, after watching the docuseries, claimed that they and other fans were already convinced that the new project “wasn’t going to give us anything.”

Another netizen revealed that a scene features a writer “saying it would feel weird to not have demos or bats in the abyss,” which was considered one of the major mistakes by several admirers.

How did the conformity gate theory begin?

This came after a chaos erupted online few days ago, with fans linking missing ends, plot holes and hints in the series to make a Conformity gate theory.

Everyone was convinced that the Right Side Up was not the original ending and a more comprehensive, secret episode was on the way.
