About the show
The Informant (Hungarian title: A besúgó) is a television series produced for HBO Max and created by Bálint Szentgyörgyi. The series follows a pro-democracy movement emerging at a Budapest-based university in 1985. It was a huge success among local audiences, and became the most watched HBO Max content in Hungary in both April and May 2022, even surpassing The Batman, released on the platform simultaneously. The series was nevertheless critiqued by some academics, who found the depiction of the opposition to the communist government to be inaccurate.
