Picture: Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 1 is now available to stream on Netflix UK this week

The wait is officially over! We’ve waited nearly three and a half years, but the final season of Stranger Things is here. Only the first four episodes are available, so be warned, if you binge them all now, you’ll be waiting until Christmas Day for the next three episodes!

It wouldn’t be the festive period without another Christmas romantic comedy landing on Netflix.
