The wait is finally over and Volume 1 of Stranger Things season 4 is now streaming on Netflix.
The series stars Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Priah Ferguson, Winona Ryder, and David Harbour. Volume 2 will include the final 2 episodes of the season and be released on July 1.
While this first volume included a total of seven episodes, there is one that audiences can't stop talking about called, "Chapter 4: Dear Billy."
The episode puts the focus on Max Mayfield, portrayed by Sink. We see the character seemingly accept her fate after being cursed until the very end when she uses her loved ones as an anchor to escape from Vecna’s grasp.
The end sequence will completely take your breath away and will forever be remembered as one of the best moments in the show. From the visuals to the use of Max’s favorite song, it’s impossible not to feel completely immersed.
"Dear Billy is genuinely the best episode in the entirety of Stranger Things, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. The last 5 minutes? Masterpiece. The incorporation of running up that hill? Incredible. Sadie sSnk? Emmy award-worthy," one viewer wrote...

The fact that Lucas knew something was wrong before she saw the clock and when she saw her mother is so personal to me. The first flashback Max saw was her and Lucas. Like Caleb said Lumax is deeper than friendship 🥺 #StrangerThings4May 28, 2022
