I've been a teenager by the time those events occurred, but the depiction of the regime and the whole situation and uncertainty during the last days of the socialist era is impeccable. It's not overdone - it's not deliberately gloomy. Well done, HBO for portraying these cloudy times as accurate as possible. Every detail is just perfect - the vehicles, the sets, the manners. Bravo!
