Visually, this mini series is stunning. That's all there is, though. For me, the first episode was a bit entertaining, the next four were just boring. But I don't take this as much of a negativity - they took a disaster and tried making it into an entertaining show. There's only so much one can do. I'm mostly bothered with the following two major points.

1. It all looks like USA propaganda from the cold-war era. Visually, they created a Soviet Union that looks like a world from a Hollywood post-apocalyptic movie. The onl ything we needed was Will Smith and a dog, figthing the evil (Soveits) that was left after humans dissapierd. Every single shot of every single human structure (apart from the presidental palace) looks like nobody has been there for 50 years. Everyting is rusty, dirty, paint falling of, about to fall apart, nothing works. All people are grumpy, angry, mean, dirty, etc. It looks like the makers of this series really wanted to poot horns on these evil communists, but this would be a bit too politically incorrect.

2. To me, it comes of as anti-nuclear propaganda. In reality, nuclear technology is the opposite, it's maybe the best source of energy we have, also taking into account impact to the environment and the number of people it directly or indirectly affect in a negative way. After watching this series, nuclear looks like the biggest evil there is. Well, after the Soviets of course.
