I don't think it's fair of me to judge this without a season 2, because of how much the writers/director seem to put mystery-above-all. We still don't know what the "sides" or factions are by the end of the show. There's a cold war still going on, but at the same time some Orwellian system continues although it hints that Poland is somehow free of USSR Orwellian control yet still behind Iron Curtain? Makes little sense. The story is very disjointed and doesn't flow.
Too many backstories, flashbacks, character mini-dramas. It's like we're trying to follow the lives of 10-20 people and they're all so selfish and only care about themselves and won't explain anything about what they're doing. Again, mystery above all.
The TV show and its plot has ridiculously high potential! The setting, the amount of factions is very high, but it's not clear who's side is on who's. This could mean they could make an incredible 2nd season, but in the 1st season we just have no idea what's happening most of the time...
The potential is there, the cinematography is there, the costumes are great, the "wise quotes" are good.
However, it constantly leaves the audience confused. The funny part is this TV series seems more like the history of Russia after 1999 (apartment complex false-flag attack that Putin did on his own Russian citizens)...
