This also just goes to show how excited people are for “Stranger Things.” Netflix dropped the final two episodes of season four early Friday morning, and it apparently brought the entire streaming platform to a grinding halt.
I’m guessing what happened is that people flooded Netflix as soon as the final two episodes dropped, and the amount of traffic caused issues. Again, that’s just a complete guess, but I think it’s almost certainly what happened.
