Lots of moments of people looking into the camera and going "how could communism do this?" which is cringe, but otherwise it's a fantastic story of human drama and how bad shit can get. Funny, I read this morning that Gorby is now dead, weird timing.
Edgy negative capability reading of the show: a lot of those moments feel like they are actually closer to capitalism than communism. You're telling me the same sort of shit as the plant manager trying to run the test to get his promotion, etc. wouldn't happen under the bootheel of mr. Market? I don't know if it's the creators intent, but nearly every moment of "horror" at Communism in that show feels like a feature closer to capitalism than communism.
I really liked it overall.
