Trotsky was very well done. As was already mentioned, it was not intended to serve as a documentary, but to show the deep struggle of the man who would be viewed by many as the intellectual diving force behind the Bolshevik revolution. You could feel the strength of Trotsky as he sacrificed both his humanity and literally everything dear to him for his ideology. You could also feel the cold calculating presence of Stalin, as it gave the briefest view of what would be a decade of moves and counter moves between him and Trotsky. The film correctly portrays how Lenin and Trotsky underestimated koba, and how it lead to the downfall of both men. One should watch it with the intent to further study the points that it made. Doing so will fill in the gaps of the deeply complicated time of the Bolshevik revolution, the Russian Civil War and the early days of the Soviet Union, that the series was not able to fully explain. I was most impressed with this series.
