I read the book a while ago so I can't say how faithful it is to the source material, but on its own it's pretty captivating. Good acting (Turturro killing it as usual), fantastic production design and the world-building is very compelling. With the strong parallels to Trump it doesn't rate very high on the escapism meter, especially in the midst of this pandemic, but once you dive into the show that's less of an issue. Also liking that this is just a 6 episode season
