When Netflix crashed within minutes of releasing Stranger Things series five, it felt like a plot twist worthy of the sci-fi show itself. Viewers were left unable to stream the opening episodes of the long-awaited final series, with many voicing their frustration on social media platforms. The outage tracker Downdetector recorded more than 14,000 reports in the US, while fans in India reported the streaming service freezing and displaying connection errors, with 200 reports made in the country during its peak.
