I'll be honest, I was pushed away by 1. the dumb title and 2. fear of cold war brainworms. The brainworms are extraordinarily minimal, but the show is cute as hell. An excellent watch.

The author admitted in an interview he literally has 0 knowledge of history or politics and is just making shit up lol
:wojak-nooo: SOURCE??? WHERE ARE YOUR WORKS CITED!!!
:gigachad-hd: I saw it in a dream
It has a surface resemblance to East Germany, but beyond the city names and secret police it's not really like East Germany at all. Shoutout to that 80s American schoolbus Anya takes to school in 60s Berlin(t).
I kind of get a weird vibe from the East where it's simultaneously a socialist worker's republic and aristocratic Prussia. Like they had a revolution but it was carried out by the nobility so they never abolished themselves.
Yeah, for the show's politics to somewhat make sense it should be set 20 years earlier in the 1930's, but I guess the author liked the Cold War aesthetic more. (Also yeah Weimar Germany was very different from Berlint in the show so even that wouldn't be exact.)
That's pretty much the only vehicle that feels out of place too lol
