This is the first Netflix original series from Poland.
In this alternate reality, Al Gore won the 2000 election - not George W. Bush. Whether it was by an Electoral College win or the inverse of the SCOTUS (Bush v. Gore 531 U.S. 98 (2000) case that awarded the state of Florida to George Bush - is not elaborated upon.
Takes place in an alternate reality two decades after a 1983 terrorist attack that kept Poland from gaining independence and the subsequent fall and dissolution of the USSR in 1991.
