The laughs are real, but usually uneasy because the horror is also real. Great job mixing satire with historical reality and one of the very few films to come out of Hollywood that does not romanticize the far left. (Think Reds, Trumbo and etc...) They took some liberties with the order and dates of certain events, but basically got it right and did a good job of portraying the nightmare of Stalinist Russia.

Fun fact: Georgy Zhukov who survived the great purges and the initial disasters of the war on the Eastern Front, to become the leader of the Red Army who crushed Hitler and marched all the way to Berlin over the corpses of 25 million Russians was once asked... what the proudest moment of his life had been. And in a rare unguarded comment replied... "killing Beria."

Finally finished season 4 the other day. (I know, I’m late to the party.) The pace is finally picking up now! Can’t wait for season 5 to be released on Netflix.

I am so crazy about that film! I caught repeats of it during free Showtime last month, but I vividly remember watching it in the theater. Maybe it’s because I remember being lightly bullied by an Asian American guy to make his gf laugh on the way in — my first time!
