The hysteria of the time captured quite well.

Rating: 9/10 (12 January 2020)

As almost satirical it may have looked, the uncertainty and almost panic among Stalin's cronies was fairly accurate.
I was impressed with how Buscemi carried the role of Khrushchev. Beale did an amazing job of making you hate Lavrentiy Beria even more, if that was possible. The only problem I had was that Molotov was depicted as timid and emotional, when that was the exact opposite of how "Old stone ass" carried himself. Of the questions I had, the only one that's bugging me is, where was Voroshilov? He was instrumental in bringing Beria down. Was the decision to not have him in it because he was not in Moscow when Stalin died? That because it was several months before they tried Beria?
