One of the very best shows ever made


Just incredible.

reply

It really is. Only 3 eps have aired so far and I cannot believe the quality of this show. Just WOW!!!

reply

Yep it's very good. 10/10 so far

reply

Fantastic show so far.

The british accents ruin it i hear

reply

The accents are all over the place, it is slightly distracting.

reply

Can accents really be enough to ruin a show?

reply

If they are british. yes.

reply

Guess I'm not going to let questionable accents cancel out great acting, writing, cinematography, effects and direction.

Amen!

Their accents might ruin the show, only if it is a serious one. Instead, it is more like another anti-Russia black comedy like the movie "The Death of Stalin". I say they should all speak in English with Russian accents like this: https://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&q=Let's send our bio-robot cleaning the roof.&tl=uk&total=1&idx=0&textlen=43&tk=984241.630641&client=webapp&prev=input

It's rated 7.2 on IMDb, and received ***1/2 from RogerEbert.com. I watched the trailer, and it looks good. So I just put it on my Netflix List. Thanks!

I mean I wouldn't say ruin it, but at first they did definitely get in the way. once you get used to it/look past (I kinda stopped really noticing by the end of the first episode) it doesn't cross your mind. I think it would've been perfect to have the show in Russian and Ukrainian with subtitles but we can't get everything and you really do stop noticing. Personally, I think the show is amazing but the accents bugged the hell out of me when I first started it.

reply

Same here. Half way through the 1st episode everything else made me forget about it. This would be 10/10 with Russian Language and English subs.

You “hear.” Who ever told you that hearsay was grounds for a post? You must think that gossip and news are one and the same; that is, if you think at all.

A hard Ignore, Nirvana. You need to study Hinduism better.

I like Kurt Cobain but don't really know to much about Hinduism...

Deoressing. No interest whatsoever. A lot like Green Mike, The Color Purple, Amistad, War Horse, Schindler’s List
and The Shawshank Redemption: not watching, not interested, not caring.

reply

Sounds like you don't like epic dramas then , some of those films you mentioned are master pieces

reply

I agree. It is fascinating to tell this tragedy through so many different characters too.

reply

Couldn't agree more, better than looming tower , on a par with band of brothers , all 3 TV series are epic

reply

I fully agree. The pacing, cinematography, costumes, story, and overall production is stellar.
