I wasn't sure if I wanted to see this. I thought maybe it might be a bit...harrowing I guess. Then I saw it has a 9.6 rating on IMDB and thought 'I can't miss this!'. Glad I watched it, very good TV. I don't know I'd go 9.6/10 good, but a strong 8 or 9 out of 10.

Interesting all the actors speak in English, some of the text is English, some of it Russian. I often wonder how close these things are to reality, you get the impression this is pretty close.
