Prioritize:
I didn't anticipate the heavy-handed lecture on BLM, the unnecessary drama, and the strange portrayal of Moscow at all. Amidst the cheering crowd, it felt like the only thing missing were dancing bears and singing KGB officers. Marcin Dorociński's performance was top-notch as always, but apart from that, the final episode was a major letdown. ()
