Cold war parables generally haven't aged well in the last few decades, and this is no exception. In this case, the sinister regime terrorizing a hapless family is A) an omniscient, ruthlessly efficient surveillance state, and B) somehow so incompetent that a moment's quick thinking can upend everything. And that's not to mention the most literal use of a deus ex machina that I've ever witnessed in a drama. The performances are generally good (aside from the cartoonish villains), and while it builds some genuine tension with its 1984-style paranoia, the third act begins to feel a bit contrived and very dated.
