Really great cast of actors as well, though physically Buscemi looked more like Beria and Simon Russell Beale looked more like Khrushchev

Just started watching it, and love it so far, but, indeed, what a weird casting choice - I was confused to start with because Beria is Khrushchev and vice versa. Weird. It's almost like someone f'ed up. Just have to remember the old Soviet joke: photo in Pravda with caption "General Secretary N.S.Khruschev among the pigs on a visit to collective pig farm. N.S. Khrushchev is second from left."
