There's a single line from a character that is explicitly shown to not have great takes.
I like the show so far, and it doesn't seem to be anticommunist any more than most US TV.
I say this as someone who stopped watching Stranger Things many years ago because it was anticommunist slop fare.
We'll see how the first season shakes out, but I am having a lot of fun watching this show and I dont see anything that would make me write it off just yet.
To anyone reading this thread and having doubts, watch the show for yourself and be the judge. I don't think you'll have a bad time watching.
same and I was really digging that show. also it should have just stuck to being about an entirely unknowable, alien, Lovecraftian Old One intelligence instead of the stupid hamfisted anti-collectivist BS they went with
as soon as the CIA black opts group shifted from utterly evil SCP type org to more benign "we won't even have you killed and may call upon you later" i knew that show was fucking doomed
