Power is a hungry animal.
During the height of the Cold War, Victor Godeanu, the right-hand man and closest advisor to Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, and secret agent for the KGB, must escape Romania and Ceaușescu before his cover is blown. Helped by an undercover Stasi agent and an up-and-coming CIA agent, Godeanu must elude the KGB and his own country’s spooks, fully aware that his defection is putting his family back home in mortal danger.

[HBO Max] A spy story that uses classic elements to build a strong plot that is influenced by John Le Carré's spy stories and also by the exploration of the double life of an agent that we could see in "The Americans". Although it works better in the first part than in a last section of the story that seems rushed, the series maintains the suspense and handles with ease the relations between the different intelligence agencies in a particularly complex time. Although perhaps it would have been more interesting to directly transfer the true story on which it is based.
Decent enough cold war spy show but the ending was just too unrealistic for me. American characters were not very good.
