Check it out. I saw someone say it's a live-action sports anime and while I would never watch an anime I assume that's an accurate description. You'd be shocked how exciting they can make chess look in this show.

    Yeah, the old Evil Empire narrative is still popular, but perhaps less so. I could be wrong; I wasn't alive in the 70s and early 80s, so I don't know how common sympathetic portrayals were.

      I don't know if there were any, but Season 3 of Stranger Things is about as sympathetic to the USSR as Rocky IV.
