Holy Crap This is Good!

Rating: 10/10 (18 October 2015)

Holy ... I already said that. If these writers don't get an Oscar for this script, I'm just going to quit watching The Awards, altogether. They took this time, this story, all these complex "oh no, another mega-confusing geo-political thriller" and turned it into an edge-of-your-seat nail-biter.
And showed us the reality. I lived through these events. But no one is going to be hit over the head with a history lesson, here. They are going to see (no spoilers) what it was like to not only live in a time when we expected to be vaporized at the whim of some guy who banged his shoe on a table to get attention, but to grow up then.
The sets, the clothes, the mood, the entire era packaged as perfect entertainment. Don't wait for the DVD. Go. Buy popcorn.
