Perfect posturing of real politique from start to finish. Acting, dialogue, scenario and cinematography combined to create a captivating and unforgettable work of this genre. The finale is an arthouse masterpiece. I can honestly state I would view the entire series again. Bravo!

Brilliant real politique start to finish. Acting, dialogue and cinematography created an indelible memory. But no matter the hegemonal ploy, the wealth of a nation will ultimately belong to that nation. The finale was the most captivating arthouse I have ever seen. Bravo! This is a classic.
