Yeah, in the later seasons. But the villain in the first season is in the US government. Stranger Things was always slop. But Season 1 was at least well made, not rabidly anti-communist, slop.
Now it’s just a parody of itself. Grossly anti-communist and orientalist, tonally inconsistent, and just plain bad. That show’s production has dragged on for so long, that the kids are all adults, now, and we’re multiple nostalgia cycles away from giving a shit about the 80s anymore.
