Manthast Absolutely amazing
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
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...
s k What can I say? This show was just plain fun. And entertaining. I had no idea what to expect. It was something that came free with Amazon Prime and it looked like it might be different. It was. And compared to some of the crappy shows and movies I've been watching lately, this show was entertaining, enjoyable, and, well...just plain fun. I thought the acting was decent. Each episode rolled right along. There was some warmth as well as some suspense. And there was humor that actually worked. The characters were likable and the story arcs were believable. If you want something different for a change, give Comrade Detective a try.
sanjin_9632 The Romanian actors did a great job. The series has some comedic value. I grew up in a socialist country so I get what they were trying to do. The interesting thing is: After watching the whole 6 episodes, I have to say that western civilization, specifically the U.S., is not portrayed in a good light. Capitalism has many downsides, many more than socialism. That's a fact. Land of the free etc. is nothing but a bubble, always has been. There's another interesting sentence from the west: Money is the root of all evil. Truer than probably most sayings.Enough about that, back to this series. As much as Tatum and the producers, director etc. are trying to spoof communism and everything that comes with it, I think they've actually managed to do the opposite. But, this is still just a show. Politics aside, it's entertaining. The dubbing makes it fun. That's all it is. And it's also a nice idea. I would've preferred it to be a little more funny, like Naked Gun-funny. 6.2/10 for the idea. Execution's not bad too.
Azizi Othman i like the concept of 80s Romania but the main blockhead idea was the dubbed version of the effing entire series!!! i would give this a solid 7 but i can't get around the flawed idea. the characters presented was awesome, decent action and suspense. i would give the green-light for 2nd season.
