Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

angryalien Except for the cars and and some clothing and locations everything looks the same as was back in the 80's in Romania, unfortunately. The reality was way more awful, gray and for sure not so cool as it is pictured in this hipster production...

kgrovebruce This series pokes fun at both Western and Communist societies, and there are so many quick one-liners it keeps you on your toes trying to catch them all. Brilliantly done, clever and lots of fun. The costumes and scenery are authentic and spot on. It was hard not to watch them all in one sitting, they are that addictive. Please make another season!

ddncdiver I watched this series with quite the open mind, for a good ol' time. I must admit, it was horrible. It quite frankly, was too overt in terms of propaganda; 1. Religious dude being like a crazed Maoist. 2. American women being superficial and loving the scent of money. 3. Detectives proclaiming "What more do you want? You have food, education and housing given to you. . Et Al; State Run Propaganda that is pushing a liberal agenda. It is absolutely vomit inducing. Who would want government rationing everything and pulling the strings on your day to day life? Whomever rated this 10/10 must love being Cuckoled. Seriously people, step back and think about it. Think about that poor soul in a bondage suit, strapped to a chair with his eyes forced open to watch said drivel, at the end of it...said person is a mere meat-suit who wants Master Marx to go "There, there my little Marxist soldier. Daddy government will coddle you with the means of production, under a falsehood of choice and freedom...because you have neither nor will ever know what to do with either."

mdesteptu Smart and funny comedy and an absurd story keeping you surprisingly engaged!After the first scenes, some might initially wonder about what's going on in front of their eyes and stop watching rating this movie as "garbage". I advise them to go back and reconsider: this movie is a brilliant parody!The initial rolling credits are the first hint that we are dealing with a joke: the cast appears to have Romanian names, but after a few seconds, one can realize that all of them are funny animal names, very unlikely to be real.But the beauty comes from the absurdity of the plot and the purposely exaggerated situations, full of stereotypes like: - Romanians listening only to classical music - cheering and commenting on live TV chess matches - being obsessed with gymnastics and Nadia Comaneci. - having no idea what "Jeans" are - having no idea what the Monopoly game is, only to consider it a symbol of the "putrid capitalism", once they find out - teaching kids to snitch on their subversive parents - the Communist Party Manifesto is a precious gift one would always carry in the pocket, next to the heart, like a Bible for some Americans. - group of workers strolling in the park and singing the national anthem - belief that western music is in fact propaganda designed to break down your defenses - CIA importing drugs to undermine the black community - the US Ambassador is busy spreading "freedom and democracy" while her schedule contains 2 hours massages at 10AM and 4 hours lunches - some very fat Americans guys are stuffing their mouths with piles of hamburgers inside the American embassy. - Americans are so lazy they can be bothered to wash their cars (when the Romanian detective is questioning what is a car wash good for) - everyone in America seems to have AIDS - the West wants to turn all women in prostitutes. - New York City looks like a nightmarish hell on earth - Americans elect actors and celebrities (like Ronald Reagan) as presidents, a proof of their indoctrination. - When in doubt, Romanian ask themselves "what would Lenin do?", as opposite to Americans asking themselves "what would Jesus do?" - The "traitor" cop, with that large tattoo (something unheard of in 80s Romania) who is "praying" to the American flag, is nothing else than a parody for the American White Supremacists. Just replace the American Flag with the one with a Nazi Swastika and... there you go. ....And more Easter Eggs quoting from memory: - "There is an as...hole building skyscrapers in NY, putting his name in golden letters on them" - "Freedom of religion is not an right, universal health care is" - "For once, I appreciate your American obsession with the second amendment" ....Or funny references like - reference to Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" and his "invisible hand", the corner stone of the capitalist economy. - reference to Tuco Salamanca from Breaking Bad: instead being offered a meth deal, the Romanian smuggler is offered a Pepsi deal. ....Really enjoyed it!
