It's the stylish new Cold War drama everyone's talking about, here's how to watch "Spy/Master" from anywhere with a VPN

Yes, it's a Cold War miniseries And while the United States and the Soviet Union are the main players in the unfolding events, "Spy/Master" features a country that rarely appears in mainstream Western TV dramas: Romania Specifically, it is Romania during the presidency of Nicolae Ceauşescu in the 1970s

While this communist leader was undeniably paranoid (and then would be executed on live television in 1989, perhaps with good reason), he was not only afraid of the West's attempts to destabilize his regime Spy/Master comes into its own when Victor Godeanu (played by Alek Sekareanu), the man Chauşescu trusted most, is revealed to be a Soviet agent, and he is forced to take matters into his own hands Where should he run to? And how will he get there?

The show was recently nominated for the Series Award at the first Berlin International Film Festival
