Will Eleven get another chance at defeating Vecna? Is Max going to wake up? Can Will ever find peace in his life? These were just some of my biggest questions going into Stranger Things season 5, Volume 1. Seeing as it has been over three years since Stranger Things season 4's ending, my list of lingering questions has become overwhelmingly long. But I guess good things do come to those who wait, because Volume 1's four episodes quickly answer some of my most burning questions.
Set a year and a half after the events of season 4, Stranger Things season 5 finds Hawkins under military control following the "earthquake" that tore apart the town, which was actually caused by Vecna. The villain hasn't been seen since he was thrown from a window with a shotgun blast, but that hasn't stopped the group from staying ready for Vecna's next move. While Hopper and Joyce are helping Eleven train, Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, Nancy, Jonathan, Steve, and Robin coordinate ways to locate Vecna. Max is still present, but she remains in a coma, serving as a reminder about how high the stakes are.
