The reports spiked on Downdetector.com at 3 am on Friday. There were nearly 15,000 reports on the website.

Some users took to the social networking site to express their displeasure. I didn't wait 3 years for this finale to crash on me.

I stayed up for hours just for it to happen.

The total number of subscribers is more than 200 million. At a time when the streaming giant is losing subscribers and faces slowing revenue growth, "Stranger Things" is vital.

The first volume of season four, which was released in May, became the streamer's biggest English-language TV premiere, with over one billion hours viewed in its first 28 days of release.

Volume two's total will be added to volume one's all-time ranking because of the audience that watched it.

The Korean-language series "Squid Game," which was watched for over one billion hours in its first month, is the biggest show of all time on the streaming service.
