    Really good mini series

    Not sure why this series has not gathered more attention. It is really god and has a good pacing. Also the photography is superb and the attention to details. Bravo!

    Fairly pointless

    Great sets and it captures the atmosphere of Prague in that era to perfection. But what was the point of it? There weren't many sympathetic characters apart from the wife, and although the plot twisted and turned a lot, which I liked, then by the end scene I felt let down and a bit baffled by what the producers were trying to achieve. As a "slice of life" type of production then it worked to a degree, but it could have been so much better with less characters and more background details. Above average so 6/10.

    Masterpiece

    Everyone should to watch this story. So realistic and raw, i watched all episodes in row.

    Painfully accurate

    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!

    Very good show

    Like other productions that describe those terrible moments of the history of Eastern Europe, this series capture the feel of the years of comunist era. And most important the "changes" that follows in the 90's. Very good acting, music and camera. I saw all 6 episodes in one day! Bravo!
