Very high quality direction, acting, cinematography, editing etc. Could not be more important about relatively dimly known roots of European antisemitism and fascism. Good grasp of just how decadent and grubby things were at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries. Antisemitism, misogyny and syphilis all rampant. Not at all for the squeamish. Current 21st century folks of a certain ilk will not like it at all - too bad. Very immersive in the politics and skullduggery of that time. Do such things ever change? Not much. Very interesting characters. As others have noted, this is one you'll have a hard time not bingeing non-stop.
