Creators Matt and Ross Duffer picked these episodes as essential viewing ahead of the final season's Part 1 release.

Creators' Insights

Matt Duffer noted, > “Season 2 is when we really started to build out the mythology and started to dive into everything, and how this was going to be an ongoing [series]. That’s where we started to really plant the seeds for the mythology... Season 4 is also highly relevant — ‘Massacre at Hawkins Lab’ is a good one.”

Ross Duffer added, > “That [episode] starts unveiling some of the Upside Down mythology and starts giving some answers, and, of course, all the stuff with Henry and Eleven continues to resonate throughout Season 5. Those are some good ones to revisit.”

With Season 5 – Part 1 arriving soon on Netflix, these picks help viewers catch up efficiently without revisiting all prior seasons.
