Reception
The show gained generally positive reviews from critics but has gotten some controversy surrounding the fact that the Soviets want to send people to gulag and practically worship Stalin and Lenin and are pretty mean to Finnish people. The song "Torture of the Irish" was changed to what translates as "Soviet Monster" in the Irish Gaelic dub.
