The last two episodes of the popular Netflix sci-fi horror drama series Stranger Things 4 Vol. 2 on July 1 received an overwhelming response to the extent that it led to the crash of the popular streaming service servers.

The subscribers seemed to be angrily reporting the crash due to heavy traffic on server, which was all because of a large number of eagerly awaiting audience thronged the Netflix platform to see the show.

The last 2 episodes of stranger things 4 were to be released as volume 2, whereas vol. 1 was released on 27th of May earlier this year with 7 episodes remaining.

The episodes were released on the widely used streaming app at 3 a.m. EST and at the same time many users complained on social media about Netflix not working.   

According to global uptime-monitoring site Downdetector.com, user reports of problems with Netflix spiked around 3 a.m. ET — when “Stranger Things 4” Volume 2 went live. Complaints about errors with Netflix peaked at nearly 13,000 at the top of the hour, before the situation seemed to be resolved within a half hour.

There were comments like “anyone else’s Netflix crashed? I think too many people are waiting for the vol. 2 release”.

Another very angry and seemingly sad user commented “I did not count the seconds like new year’s eve just for Netflix to crash on me”.  

All the audience seemed to be very excited for the release of vol. 2 and also a little sad and concerned because of the gory and unsettling ending that producer Ross Duffer had already discussed.

The producer said to Variety during an interview: “I don’t really want to say but I am a bit concerned about the characters going into vol. 2”.

"I hope that that is sort of the sense, because it is a darker season and the kids are no longer kids.” He continued. “there's sort of an ominous feeling that things might not go well. Now, whether they do or not, you'll have to watch."
