Trivia

If the pre-credits time-capsule sequence evokes the intro to Homeland (2011), it's most likely due to the fact that both series are the product of the same writer, director and creator, Gideon Raff and his team. This sequence is splashed with stills pertinent to the time period 1960-1965 including: Golda Meir, Nelson Mandela, Elvis Presley, Lyndon Baines Johnson, Alfred Hitchcock, John F. Kennedy, Muhammad Ali, Charles de Gaulle, Yuri Gagarin, Adolf Eichmann, Fidel Castro, Lee Harvey Oswald, Leonid Brezhnev, Richard Nixon, Nikita Khrushchev, Ella Fitzgerald, Jacqueline Kennedy, John Connally, etc. See more »

Goofs

In the title sequence there are photos from the 1960s (when the series takes place) except the photo of Nelson Mandela that was taken after his release from prison (it was taken in 1994). See more »

Fantastic Series
6 September 2019 | by Bfeins5110 – See all my reviews

Great story and it is absolutely true. Actors are superb. Sasha Baron Cohen unbelievably good and not in a comedy. Watched in one sitting.
