I guess my standards for "is this annoyingly anti-communist" are incredibly low - they at least live pretty normal lives in the East and doesn't have a "gommunism no food no consumer good" thing going on.

You're right, though - Yuri and Donovan Desmond have the "scary badguy" aesthetic.

Yeah this was why I had to stop (aside from the plot not really going anywhere)

The premise was nice but it got kinda boring fast
