neutrino-51524 Fun to watch, thanks to the outrageous characterizations of the people and life in here, hyperbolically addressing the oddities of the communist system. It delivers a biting satire on the role of the players of the Eastern Block society - the servile state police, the black market as a door to the inaccessible world of the West, the total social and moral corruption of a nation numbed by the vicissitudes of the history. Corneliu Ulic, Florin Piersic JR, Olivia Nita, and their US dubbing counterparts, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Channing Tatum, Jenny Slate as well as a plethora of other Romanian and US actors are getting the viewer into binge mood for the series. The dubbing idea is interesting, gives a special flavor of the concept, but you must adjust and go past the first episode. The US crew did a great job, making the film very unique! An original Romanian track with subtitles would be interesting to watch as well, but might lose some of the charm.
mykethemakeupguy First off let's set the record... this isn't an actual show that aired of Romanian TV back in the 80's , it's meant to lead you to believe it was. Some of the actors playing the characters that are being dubbed by some of today's actors where not even born in the 1980's ... but the show is pretty good either way.
adirmj Movie is funny mainly for people who did not live at the time behind the iron curtain. Propaganda and the whole thing is terribly exaggerated. You can relax if you treat the series as a comedy.I do not know why to create similar dummy (pretend that the series is from the 80s) series. Better is to reach for a very good Polish crime series from those years. Pretty well realized (as in those years) with lots of humor and light true propaganda. I mean "07 zgłos się" / "07 call in".
Bryan Tull It's a foreign TV show with English dubbed over, or at least that's the premise; it could be a spoof, I'm not sure. It's supposed to be a comedy but it's not funny. I think it got me a half-hearted laugh in the first 20 minutes after which I decided to stop watching. Comedy is my favorite genre and this is bad.
