The Informant (Hungarian title: A besúgó) is a 2022 television series produced for HBO Max and created by Bálint Szentgyörgyi.[1] 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.[2][3][4] The series was nevertheless critiqued by some academics, who found the depiction of the opposition to the communist government to be inaccurate.

[5] The series was removed from HBO Max in June 2022 as a result of the Warner Bros. Discovery merger.[6][7] It was added to SkyShowtime in March 2023, as part of an acquisition deal, which includes 21 previously removed European HBO Max originals.
