Netflix has the two final episodes of the 4th season of Stranger Things. But are they even episodes? Episode 8 clocks in at 1 hour and 25 minutes. That's practically feature-film length. And then there's the season finale - episode 9 which is a whopping 2 hours and 30 minutes long.
Yowza! That's a lot of time I'm going to be spending rewinding to work out where I fell asleep watching it and then falling asleep minutes later as soon as I hit play.
Of course, with such a big show on, there isn't a whole lot of other shows competing for your attention this weekend. Only Murders in The Building returned and it was its usual fine self. I'm pretty interested in the new UK cyber crime thriller The Undeclared War.
But this weekend is all about entering the Upside Down for more Stranger Things. Who am I to suggest you watch anything else?
