1983
Created by Joshua Long, Maciej Musiał
On Netflix
A tense, paranoid alternate-history noir that treats a conspiracy as both a political thriller and a meditation on complicity under totalitarianism.
Twenty years after a devastating terrorist attack in 1983 that halted the course of Poland's liberation and the subsequent downfall of the Soviet Union, an idealistic law student Kajetan and a disgraced police investigator Anatol stumble upon a conspiracy that has kept the Iron Curtain standing and Poland living under a repressive police state.
