      its a good show, first four seasons are incredible, season 5 the writing and the politics simultaneously nosedive (yes it sadly becomes a capitalism propaganda show) but the actors still sell it. season 6 isnt bad but its so cringy to watch that i’ve been slogging through it for months lol

      its worth watching for sure. its very confused about ideology shit but thats fine, its more about the characters than the cold war itself

        Yea i felt like they were kinda confused with the politics of it, especially with the whole

        Phillip is starting to love America!!! shit. But then like they're happy to be back home at the end, so idk what message they were trying to say. Like i dont think the writers even knew anything about the Soviet Union except "no food!1"

          lmao the setup is pretty implausible where they learned to speak spotless unaccented english in a couple years of training but idc its still a great show you should give it a chance...
