Commentary: ‘Stranger Things’ sees Latter-day Saints as ‘super-religious white people.’ Sadly, that’s a bit too true.

Without spoiling any plot points beyond the first half-hour of the season, Dustin, the curly headed geek we’ve grown to love, has fallen for a Utah girl at science camp.

In typical Dustin fashion he doesn’t want to just call her on the phone from his home in Indiana, because that wouldn’t be nearly nerdy enough. So he rigs up “Cerebro,” the ham radio to end all ham radios, and ropes his best friends into hiking up to the town’s highest point so he can communicate with his girlfriend, Suzie, 1,500 miles away.
