    America in the show is full of communists building secret bases under the local mall like Scooby Doo villains.

    Which btw they apparently ran the mall better than the capitalists in the town could run their small town business according to the show lol.

      As a communist that makes sense, but I don't think we're actually supposed to pay attention to the economics of the mall in the show. I also felt like the Soviets in the show were really motivated in a way that the main characters weren't, but I guess I'm biased

        I mean they touched upon it briefly with the shots of the Main Street of the town suffering from a lack of business from the mall, and Winnona Ryder's character kinda remarking that there are no customers at her job.

          I'll just trust you on that, comrade. I stopped actually paying attention to the show somewhere in season 2 I think, but it's still funny to me. I might eventually watch season 4 too.

            Yeah it got pretty boring in 2 and it was pretty meh in 3, 4 seems to have tried to tighten the story a bit but idk
