Description:
GOOD TO BE BACK IN HAWKINS! It’s finally here — Stranger Things Season 5 Episode 1, and this is our FIRST TIME watching for BOTH of us! In this Mom & Daughter Reacts video, Tessa (Mama’s Geeky) and Lorie dive into the beginning of the FINAL season, and we were not ready for how intense, emotional, and shocking this premiere would be. The darkness is back, the stakes are higher than ever, and this episode immediately reminded us why Stranger Things is one of our favorite shows of all time. From the opening scene, Season 5 hits HARD. The world of Hawkins — and everything connected to the Upside Down — is unraveling fast. The characters we’ve grown up with are scattered, struggling, grieving, and fighting to survive as Vecna’s influence continues to spread. Key Moments We React To: The chilling cold-open, which sets the tone for the entire season and left us speechless. Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) grappling with the fallout of Season 4 and trying to understand the full extent of her powers after the battle with Vecna. Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) feeling the pull of the Upside Down again — his emotional moments hit SO hard. The Hawkins crew — Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), Steve (Joe Keery), Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Robin (Maya Hawke), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Max’s lingering presence (Sadie Sink) — all trying to make sense of the spreading destruction. The terrifying new Upside Down threat that emerges near the end, proving Vecna isn’t done yet. A huge cliffhanger that made BOTH of us yell out loud — Season 5 is wasting ZERO time.
The cast brings some of their strongest performances ever: Millie Bobby Brown — Eleven, Finn Wolfhard — Mike Wheeler, Noah Schnapp — Will Byers, Gaten Matarazzo — Dustin Henderson, Caleb McLaughlin — Lucas Sinclair, Sadie Sink — Max Mayfield, Natalia Dyer — Nancy Wheeler, Charlie Heaton — Jonathan Byers, Joe Keery — Steve Harrington, Maya Hawke — Robin Buckley, David Harbour — Hopper, and Winona Ryder — Joyce Byers
This episode felt HUGE, emotional, heartbreaking, and terrifying — the perfect start to the final season. We can’t wait to see where this story goes next, and we’re excited to take you with us. Don’t miss our first-time reaction to Stranger Things Season 5 Episode 1! What moment shocked YOU the most? And who do you think won’t survive the final season?
