A besúgó

I've just finished watching the last episode and I can know say that this was one of the best shows I have seen in a while. Great story and astonishing acting. Does an excellent job portraiting comunist Hungary with barely noticible flaws.

Very good work, you get drowned into the movie, like a time travel experience, so realistic. You can catch some parallels between then and now, seems that history is repeating itself time by time.

Overall excellent show, great acting and directing.

The secret police members are depicted a little too primitive. Most of them, who managed informants were much more sophisticated, did not need physical force to threaten their subjects. They found something to blackmail you just like in the movies. Very often multiple people were recruited to report about each cell and that way they had a quick sense if some did not report everything.

For me the biggest flaw is the naming of the school the students attending. In Hungarian they call it " Gazdasági Egyetem".

Nobody, I mean nobody called that school gazdasági egyetem. Its name was Közgazdaságtudományi Egyetem and everyone referred to it using its shortened name "Közgáz". This is quite a big flaw, for someone who was a university student in Budapest in the mid 80s this makes the show somewhat unauthentic. They could have used this in the original language version and for the foreign subtitles the " school of economy" would have worked.

But I can hardly wait the next episode, very well written and all the props are truly authentic! Great job!

I hope the quality of the first two episodes will be maintained until the end. This is an excellent series, great story so far, top notch acting and superb production values. I shivered frequently because I was forced to remember my youth and the strange ambiente of Hungary in mid 80s. There were some moments which can be deeply moving for somebody who lived through those years. The pub scenes with live music were causing me a great shock, 'cause it was so authentic I am unable to put it into words. Sharp memories came back, I never experienced anything like this before. Awesome!

Surprisingly I was Hooked from the very first minute. Great cast, plot and really good production. Despite very active show season, this one is one of the best this year. Highly recommended:)
