I watched it and thought it was good, not great but I'm a fan of ewen McGregor so I was willing to sit through it. What dawned on me as I continued to watch it was that it's so timely. Young people do not know or understand why they should be afraid of Russia or China, of communism or more generally autocratic rulers. This tv series is a great reminder of what autocracy always leads to.
Not many shows nowadays provide a glimpse of history that doesn't denigrate the west but this show illustrates that the alternatives to the western system may be worse, way worse.
I appreciate what the series is about and what I've gleaned from the show.
Well worth a watch and hopefully if you're young take away the idea that it could be a lot worse.
