It is just a thriller and political fiction. I watched all 8 episodes and rather enjoyed it. The plot is much too complicated, unclear to the very end in some parts, but in some parts it's quite atractive. The best part are actors and incredible vision of non existent Poland. Lights, buildings, city panoramas, interior designs - all is just a pleasure to watch. Some scenes dated before 1983 are very, very real, as I remeber them from that time. The vision of the country with its Asian quarters seems borrowed from US but again design, costumes, filming make them all really worth seeing. And yes I VERY MUCH AGREE with v-thea - it is very Orwelian. The book is one those shown at the beginning in an illegal print hole and I suppose it is not without the reason.
I truly recommend watching it. Give it a chance, just let it take you for some kind of a special ride.
