Netflix went down due to viewer overload
The excitement surrounding the premiere of "Stranger Things" caused disruptions on the streaming platform. The massive influx of viewers led to Netflix experiencing a temporary malfunction during the release.
Users complained they couldn't play the new episodes. The issue was quickly resolved, and the series is now available to watch without interruptions.
