I could never get into that show because I thought it would be too depressing or it would just be propaganda for how evil the Soviets were (which I'm still sure is partially true). Either way, either way I figured I'd see the resolution coming which would deflate a lot of the drama.

A lot of those scenes sound kind of preachy, although I like that lead actor. Is the show any good?

I watched the show, I loved it, it wasn't 100% depressing or propaganda, it was reality I'd say, because most of it is very much likely to be true, I have yet to finish watching Anatoly Dyatlovs interview but the show I would definitely recommend, it is not too sad, it has it's moments of good laughter, but it's a serious one and has some gore, very explicit and realistic gore, so if you have a soft stomach I suggest try and skip some of those scenes, but altogether it is a fantastic piece of art.

Imo it was a good watch but I don't get the acclaim for it.
