Stranger Things’ final episode is being teased by David Harbour, who calls it “the best episode ever.”
The Netflix sci-fi show is entering its fifth and final season, and Harbour, who has played Jim Hopper throughout the show’s run, is happy with how it will end.
During a live taping of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Harbour said, “I can criticise this show a lot,” adding that “they land the plane, and it’s the best episode they’ve ever done” in Stranger Things season 5, episode 8.
“At the end of this episode, when we were reading it, people started crying about halfway through,” he said. “Then for about the last 20 minutes, it was just wild crying, with different people coming in and out. My favorite is Noah Schnapp.”
