I haven't seen so much effort put into a set in years. This would decent if it wasn't so damn propogandistic. Of course the message is "communism hates science".

      What happened with Stranger Things still pisses me the hell off. Season one starts off with an obviously evil, child torturing American government agency as the villain. But then a bunch of those agents die at the end of the season, they are replaced, and suddenly in season two this exact same organization is benevolent, really cares about the protagonists' well being, and is just super duper sorry about all the atrocities they committed.

      Real lib-brained thinking that the problem with the US and its institutions is that a bunch of mean bad people have accidentally fallen into positions of power and we just need to replace them with good nice people to make everything all better.

      So they'd fully rehabilitated the show's first villain, and now they're in need of a new one. Of fucking course the idea the writers land on is to just totally recreate the evil government agency from season one, but now it's the evil commie USSR doing it.
