The ultimate screw up of the great Soviet apparatus. I think it was the straw that broke the camel’s back for them. You saw all the signs of a corrupt and bloated political system in that series. Lie, lies and more lies. Sounds like democrats.

It was a fascinating show and I am very surprised that it was as true to history as it was. One of the best pictures ever painted of what happens when an elite control a nation. Even the dark tones and dreary community was realistic of the Soviet Union.

The truth is always second to the needs of the state....

In point of fact, watching the final episode tonight, I was struck with how similar our own government has become to the former Soviet Union. It's becoming increasingly intolerant and autocratic.

It's bringing in unwashed and unwanted animals from all over the world by the millions. We object, but they ignore us.

Sorry Mr. Franklin, but we were not able to hold onto the Republic.

I was wondering why the show creator’s name sounded familiar...and realized that he (Craig Mazin) was Senator Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) freshman year roommate at Princeton. Mazin had chimed in some (not so nice) commentary about living with Ted during the early stages of the 2016 presidential election. Do you guys remember that? I wasn’t a fan at the time of Sen. Cruz either but I do think it’s a shame that the maker of a show like this has to be so liberal on every other issue in real life. But alas...
