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!

Masterpiece

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

Brilliant

Love a gritty spy drama and this one was the best I've seen in a very long time. The atmosphere and attention to period detail was beautifully done. Very Kafka.

Nice, but not often realistic

Interesting intrigue and rather good immersion in the dark communist era. Though the behavior of personnages is sometimes simplistically and unrealistically stupid. Moreover, I can't believe that 95% Czechs in 1989 smoked. If you watch the series, you have an impression that life without cigarettes didn't exist in the communist Prague.

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.

Trivia
Lead actress Tatiana Pauhofová was performing in a play in Bratislava, Slovakia, at the same time that filming was ongoing in Prague, Czech Republic, resulting in a heavy, complicated schedule and long, frequent travel to honor both commitments.
