I was expecting a lot. Poliakoff. The truth about people who had done despicable things getting away with it - indeed being lionised by the western governments in their obsessive hatred of our Russian allies. Sadly the appalling performances of the two actors playing the brothers and the lack of depth left me cold. Angry, even. One day someone will do justice to this part of history.

i loved it from beginning to end. You'd only need it on for 30 seconds to know it's a Poliakoff. He just creates a different world for each of his dramas and is faithful to it throughout. The way the colours and music are a bit over the top and the dialogue slightly stilted. Costumes are fantastic.
Completely agree with this. It was pure Poliakoff and I enjoyed every minute of it. I do understand why it's not everyone's cup of tea but for me it was near perfect.
