Reception

The review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reports that 100% of film and television critics' reviews were positive, based on 10 reviews, with an average rating of 7.0/10. Dan Einav of The Financial Times states, "Unlike Oppenheimer, the series looks beyond those who actively shaped seismic events to those helplessly caught in history."[3] Ed Power of The Daily Telegraph calls it, "a nine-part documentary series about the Cold War uses Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-winning film as a convenient springboard."[4]

In an aberrant review excluded from Rotten Tomatoes, Noah Rothman of the conservative American magazine National Review, dubs it, "The Worst Cold War Documentary Ever Made".[5]
