I don’t have high hopes but I read the premise and I thought it was interesting enough, thinking there’d be some possibility of a more even keeled depiction of the soviet union and of socialism. Just saw the first episode and there’s some overtures to socialism and the Su? Like, it’s typical hollywood spy schlock but it’s not completely full of anti communist brainworms? There’s 5 or so seasons of this shit so no way they avoid making any sort of politicsl commentary and I’d like to say time if it’s just going to be liberal garbage.

    I rewatched the first couple episodes recently and I forgot just how early that comes up. It’s definitely off putting. But I’d recommend the show, as long as that kind of subject matter doesn’t bother you. Gratuitous amounts of sex as usual.

      Right, I can deal.with that level of content (having to do with SA), but it needs to be “worth it” as far as it’s contribution to my enjoyment of the content, if that makes sense.
