The rating of 7.9 puts the finale in 38th place out of all the episodes in the series. With a total of 42 episodes aired across all seasons, this places the final chapter close to the bottom of the list.
While many fans praised the emotions and ‘full-circle’ moments in the episode, others felt the finale was rushed. These mixed reactions are clearly reflected in the IMDb score.
Highest & Lowest Rated Episodes In The Series
Let’s now see the ratings of some of the other episodes of this series to put things in perspective. The top-rated episode in the IMDb rankings is from Season 4. The seventh episode of Season 4, The Massacre at Hawkins Lab (2022), has a rating of 9.6 out of 10 (voted by 71k users) and sits at the top of the list. The runtime of this episode is approximately 1 hour and 41 minutes.
On the other hand, Chapter Seven: The Bridge of this season is rated the lowest on the list. It has an IMDb rating of 5.6/10 based on 158K votes. This chapter mainly received negative reviews, primarily due to its pacing and storyline.
Compared to the other two, the Season 5 finale falls somewhere in the middle. However, we must also note that many fans rated it low because it didn’t satisfy the dramatic expectations they had of the finale.
