I watched it. It was good. Not as great as some people said it was. The kgb types appeared to be believable. From what I’ve heard about Russians and vodka that appeared realistic too.
It was actually terrifying at what might have happened all across Europe and possibly here, had they not (eventually) stepped up.

I thought it was mostly bullcrap myself too. So many inaccuracy's that I gave up on it after episode 3.
The real history is all out there, why did they feel the need to make things up? Oh that's right, it's HBO.

I stopped watching when Daenerys Targaryen’s dragon started the meltdown in episode 2.

To pay tribute to Dany, I bought a GOT coffee cup that is black until you put something hot in it. Then a picture appears. Neat. Expensive.

They were hardly misrepresented. He needs to explain why the military, and the government in the U.S.S.R. took decades to tell their citizens about the other nuclear accidents that occurred prior to Chernobyl.

I have spent quite a bit of time with Russians from average Ivan to high energy physicsists... they all could down vodka like it was water. But the real Russian stuff was as smooth as silk so it went down easy. But they drank it by the liter

Yep. Me too. And I don’t care how smooth it is. When it’s 80-100 proof and you can drink like those guys can drink - you’ve got a high tolerance for a reason: experience.

A BLATANT LIE': ...Well, it's HBO. Hollywood. What did you expect?
It had a 1/1,024% chance of any accuracy.
