The fifth and final season of Stranger Things has received some of its lowest ratings on IMDb. Netflix surprised fans by announcing the season would be released in three parts.

Created by Vince Gilligan, the mind behind Breaking Bad, Pluribus was shrouded in mystery before its release on Apple TV+. It quickly became clear the show centers around a virus that makes most of humanity share a single consciousness, with a few people remaining unaffected.

The first season of Pluribus ended with several shocking twists. The Others found a way to potentially compel Carol (Rhea Seehorn) to work with them, and Carol unexpectedly teamed up with Manousos, a partnership that could be risky. The season finale left viewers eager to find out what happens next.

Both Affleck and Damon have become major stars. Affleck has achieved success as an Oscar-winning director, even playing Batman, while Damon has collaborated with highly respected directors like Christopher Nolan and the Coen Brothers. Though they’ve continued to work together on projects like Air and The Last Duel, fans have long hoped for a specific kind of film from them. Now, Netflix’s The Rip seems poised to deliver exactly that, a project that feels like it should have happened 28 years ago.
