(Reuters) -Streaming platform Netflix was down for about an hour for several users in the United States on Wednesday evening, coinciding with the release of the fifth and final season of its hit series "Stranger Things". There were less than 800 reports of the issue as of 8:45 p.m. ET, down from a peak of 14,290 incidents earlier in the day, according to Downdetector, which tracks outages using multiple sources. "Some members briefly experienced an issue streaming on TV devices, but service recovered for all accounts within five minutes," Netflix said in an emailed response to Reuters. Netflix has ranked "Stranger Things" as its third-most popular English-language series globally. The highly anticipated season was set to be released at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday. The platform has previously faced outages during major events, including the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul boxing bout and the live-streamed reality show "Love is Blind."
