Netflix has been facing massive outage in the United States since November 26. Reason? Over 14,000 users had reported issues that they faced in accessing the streaming service. The problem started just before the release of the much-anticipated and final season of the popular series Stranger Things. This has made many to wonder if there could be a connection between the increase in viewership and the platform’s technical issues. Several social media users have been quick to react to the crash. This has further led to massive frustration among the viewers who need immediate reaction.

Fans’ reactions go VIRAL

One user commented, “The show is so GOATED Netflix literally crashed worldwide We all refreshing at the same time ? #StrangerThings5.”

Next comment read, “And this is what a fandom can do… As #StrangerThings5 gets its release on @netflix. And the platform crashes as hundreds of thousands of people couldn’t stream it. Wow”. Next tweet read, “Well the Netflix servers are down…. This was expected with the FINAL season of Stranger Things (sic).”

Third read, “Bro Netflix crashed”

Another fan posted, “NETFLIX IS DOWN AND I CANT WATCH #StrangerThingsSeason5 NOOOOOOO”

Another fan posted, “GUYS WE ARE NOT FOR REAL. I JUST WANTED TO WATCH STRANGER THINGS S5. IT’S BEEN OUT FOR LESS THAN A MINUTE AND THE SITE HAS CRASHED. GIVE ME MY STRANGER THINGS. RIGHT NOW.”

Stranger Things season 5 was set for release at 6:30 AM on Thursday, November 27, in India, with the next episodes scheduled for Christmas and New Year’s Eve. The excitement and anticipation for the final season contributed to heavier-than-usual traffic on the streaming platform, with fans sharing GIFs and personal reactions to the technical issues. This is not the first time Stranger Things has strained the platform. In July 2022, when the final two episodes of Season 4 dropped, Netflix went down for a short period of time.
