Energy Dept.: We don't fight other-worldly monsters

The Energy Department feels the need to defend itself against a popular sci-fi series on Netflix that depicts the agency as full of evil scientists who break into other dimensions to fight unthinkable monsters.

The series, called “Stranger Things,” is set in a fictional 1980s Indiana town. A boy’s mother, played by actress Winona Ryder, is led to the Department of Energy while searching for her lost son who mysteriously disappeared. A girl with supernatural powers leads Ryder’s character to the agency, but not before traveling to another dimension and facing horrifying otherworldly beasts.
