So you're saying that a fictional show is... fictional?
- gdy 8y agoNo, that is not what I am saying.

- pytester 8y agoRussia is a state that has occupied at 7/8 European countries in the last century. Judaism is a somewhat vaguely defined cultural/religious grouping. In European history the last large scale attempt to blur the distinction between race and state ended with attempted genocide. It's somewhat distasteful to continue repeating that mistake.
- gdy 8y agoYour attempt to justify russophobia is distasteful. All this nonsense like 'we don't like Russian state but love Russian people" doesn't fool anyone.
- pytester 8y agoI watched the TV series and it was actually remarkably sympathetic towards the Russians involved. The Russian government obviously wasn't very pleased with it, but I doubt the EU were either (it portrays neither state in a good light). The way America treats Russia (in TV, movies and the media, where it's the bogeyman du jour), on the other hand, is vastly different and arguably quite russophobic.
- gdy 8y agoWell, I must admit I stopped watching it after several episodes, perhaps I should get back to it.
- afarrell 8y agoNo, saying that it lacks verisimilitude. When fiction’s plot prevents you from suspending disbelief, it makes it hard to take it seriously as a comment on reality. Magic is fine. People should act the way that people act.
