    It’s a great show but it’s also all bullshit pretty much, it only follows the broad strokes of the real story.

      It was never supposed to be more than the broad strokes though. Even those were largely unknown in the West.

      Oh. People from English-speaking countries don’t sink you with downvotes immediately for criticizing that show anymore. Nice.

      Even the broad strokes are, eh, how do you say it, eh … worse than Tom Clancy and that’s an achievement I’m not sure everyone is capable of measuring.

      It’s funny though how such series about “USSR” talk in fact about something American. Reminiscent of the “17 moments of spring” series which were about a Soviet spy in Berlin in the last months of WWII, but mostly explored Soviet ideology and morality issues.
