Stranger Thing 4 took the world by storm when it finally hit Netflix on May 27, almost three years after the release of season 3. It was a long wait for fans of the show, but their patience was rewarded with one of the biggest and darkest seasons of Stranger Things ever.

At the center of season 4 is Eddie Munson, a new character played by Joseph Quinn, trying to prove he didn’t commit the aforementioned killings. In other words, Stranger Things 4 has a lot to cover.

While all of these storylines play out to varying degrees of success across a somewhat more bloated nine-episode season, it’s ultimately Max, Eddie and his guitar, and the new king of the Upside Down who steal the show this time around, with Sadie Sink putting in a particularly excellent performance as someone coping with trauma and survivor’s guilt. And don’t sleep on Noah Schnapp adding some very interesting and heartfelt new layers to the character of Will Byers, who finally gets a bit more to do in season 4.

Stranger Things 4, of course, Stranger Things 5 is poised to be the biggest season of the show ever.

But for now the fourth season has spent the past few weeks ruling the Netflix Top 10 TV Shows list, sitting in the number one spot since the show released its final two episodes on July 1. Yet, while the show has retained a large audience throughout July, with more and more viewers showing up to catch up on their favorite sci-fi horror series (or rewatch from the beginning), Stranger Things has finally been toppled from the top spot by another Netflix production.

Despite the who recently told Den of Geek that he had plans to keep Resident Evil going on Netflix for years to come.

This new adaptation of the classic video game horror series follows franchise villain Albert Wesker (Lance Reddick) and a few interesting twists that will keep viewers guessing.

Now the question is how long will Resident Evil sit in the top spot on Netflix? That remains to be seen but this is definitely a strong start for the show, which only hit the streaming service on July 14. It remains to be seen if this means fans will get Resident Evil season 2.
