The Company: Season 1

@Penelopkin: Well, I must say, they also showed the brutal brutality of the rebels, with the shooting of prisoners and the killing of everyone. There was a real asshole there, almost 700 of our people were killed during the suppression of the uprising, and this is not counting the local Hungarian communists.

An unexpected hidden gem for me. One caste is worth a lot.
Yes, cranberries are present here in sufficient quantity and there are questions about the script.
But the wonderful hand-drawn intro and the incomparable acting of Molina and Keaton outweigh it.

"Kholstomer," yeah.
The Old Man's nieces from the early seventies to the nineties, and for twenty years, have not matured a single month. Vampires, probably.
The flags are upside down. Of course, how can you remember the flag of your main opponent on the world stage? Complicated...

And yes, the bad guys won this time.

The second episode did not bring relief. The "Mystery of the second mole" did not last long. If the first mole was "burned down" by the actor, then the second one was already burned by the scriptwriters. And again, an hour and a half with zero intrigue and slightly frenzied pathos. Yes, well, tell us about the Hungarian uprising - we really remember this episode worse than Prague. But in the series, it's such a poster episode, as if it was filmed in the 50s. The leader here is a tall, long-haired handsome brunette, a beautiful Englishwoman is in love with him ("Why don't you leave here, because this isn't even your country," a CIA agent asks the Englishwoman. "Because I want my daughter to have a bright future," she replies, looking like all that's missing is some final chord like the rising sun or pigeons flying into the sky.) When the KGB building is seized, then, of course, there will be an executioner aunt in a white coat, well splattered with blood.
About my daughter. The Englishwoman's daughter was taken away from her almost in infancy and they are allowed to see each other only once (!) a year (!). Two questions: what is the point of allowing such meetings once a year (is there pressure from the world community?), and how is it even possible that a separated mother is still in infancy a girl who sees her once a year happily greets her mother (already in a refugee camp), as if she spends 364 days a year in solitary confinement?

Which side were we again? The whole point of the Cold War is in one question.
