  Summary

  Stranger things rewrite from the beginning because the finale was shit. This covers all seasons, between season 3 and 4 and there is no 18 months time skip it is apocalyptic Hawkins season 5. Many scenes are the same, but there are also added scenes. Each chapter correlates with each episode. Many things from season will be rewritten.
