S4 EP9, wow just wow what a delight that was to watch.
It should have finished when the clock chimed 4 times, that would have been a right cliff hanger ending. It didn't need the last 30 mins in this season.
I thought the same at first but I do like that each series has essentially been a standalone thing that wraps up at the end. By far the biggest complaint on social media seems to be that they basically skipped an entire episode by doing the '2 days later' thing, people seemed to want closure for Eddie. I don't think that's all done with yet though, and if this series was anything to go by they aren't exactly short of time to finish it off in S5 however they plan to. Remarkably strong final episodes though, it's not often a TV show running for that long can stick the landing like that.It should have finished when the clock chimed 4 times, that would have been a right cliff hanger ending.

Can't disagree with that, such a great season and season 5 has some work to better that, Strange thing is 
the Kate Bush song really made certain scenes explode and they got the music bang on.Season 4 has been exceptional TV.
The writing, direction, editing have been so effective that I find myself really immersed in what’s happening on screen. At one point I shouted ‘NO’. Can’t remember the last time a TV show made me do that.
Edit: Millie Bobby Brown has been a real find. It can’t be easy casting children to star in a series that will run for years. She has turned out to be a brilliant young actress.

Was a great season overall, but the ending of EP9 seemed really rushed to me. It's like they'd run out of time at 2 and half hours and though "Oh s
t, we still need to setup for next season"They could have easily split the last episode into 3 separate ones.

Yes, Millie is excellent.

Will Metallica get as much new attention as Kate Bush? Probably not. 
Was a great scene, and a nice break from listening to the cat strangler.Finished Series 4 yesterday.
I'd echo some of the points already made. Some of the episodes (especially 8 and 9) are much longer than they need to be. As a result you have some cracking moments in each episode which are surrounded with way too much padding. I thought the characters of Dustin and Erica were great.
Definitely worth a watch.
