Reviews
Critics have generally praised "Trotsky" for its compelling portrayal of historical events and Konstantin Khabenskiy's powerful performance. On IMDb, the show holds a respectable rating of 7.1/10, reflecting a positive reception among viewers. Reviewers from Russian film circles commend the series for its meticulous attention to detail in costume and set design, which effectively immerses audiences in early 20th-century Russia. The Guardian noted that while the series sometimes indulges in melodrama, it succeeds in capturing the intensity and complexity of Trotsky’s life and ideological battles. However, some critics argue that the narrative pace occasionally falters, pointing out moments where political exposition slows down the dramatic momentum. Rotten Tomatoes does not currently list a score for the series, indicating limited coverage in some Western media circuits. Despite these critiques, "Trotsky" has been lauded for educating viewers about a pivotal historical figure through a balanced approach that neither glorifies nor demonizes its subject, making it a valuable watch for history enthusiasts and drama fans alike.
