    I generally like it because how the show is not about cheap spectacle, having kind of a hard time with the character setting though.

    Their dialogue and attitude and sensibilites feel very western, not at all how 1980s russians would talk, interact and look at the world.

    Not as a simple language thing necessarily, more like that the characters feel like are built from outsider, western perspective. This is irritaing at times, makes the thing feel unrealistic, fake.

    • There is a podcast about the show that goes into their process and how they tried to be realistic, and even had to change some approaches given feedbackwordssssss
    • that they werent being authentic.wordssssss
    • well that's great I guess, but still far off from the actual cultureshoes
