I figured I was in for a hell of a ride with a mini serie of only 6 eps. Truth be told, it's not. It's a slow folding of what happens if you let fascism let into your country. A good one at that to be fair. I'd wish their would either be a second season or they would increase the episodes so we could actually see more of the upcoming time period. Anyhow, a great show for anyone interested in the subtlelty of what makes a society and how fragile it is. A good life lesson even in modern age. Maybe especially in modern age.

Not being American the number of episodes, and 'missing' parts don't bother me. We're well used to short runs that don't drag out everything and don't have to have everything on the nose. For this; the reality is replace Trump with Linburgh and there's your show. It would be interesting to see how this would have been received if it were produced before he started campaigning.

The reconstructed reality to warn about the dangers of fascism. Philip Roth wrote the novel when the "War on Terror" was raging. David Simon and Ed Burns serialize it in the middle of the Trump era. It is the danger of indifference. And the series has the hallmark of Simon's big productions. His miniseries, such as the splendid "Show me a hero" (HBO, 2015) are short, but they are enough to create the uneasiness of reality (or supposed reality) made fiction.

The overall premise and story is interesting and serves as a cautionary tale in any time. I don't think the actual plot really taps its full potential, though. So much meat is carved out of it that the series revolves more around establishing the setting itself than around telling much of a stor More
