Well written and acted and compelling, but you need to get a grip up north. This, like ReGenesis and Harry Potter is FICTION. Enjoy is as such and honor the inherent opinions but do not confuse it with fact because it suits your world view. It is no more based in fact than Rowling books and to pretend otherwise is just naive.
This has become a common conceit in media that if you want to make a point but to not wish to rely on actual evidence, fictionalize it and you will remain above possible contradiction by reality. It's OK until the audience begins to believe that the fiction is reality. So enjoy this wonderful episode and series but if you are seeking to inform your opinions on other countries and people, please look elsewhere.
