Possibly, though I did see a one star review for George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four that complained that it was too depressing. It's a story about a totalitarian nightmare future; what were they expecting, a few laughs!?
Historical drama set in 1984? This is the first line of the Amazon UK blurb:

“His final masterpiece. Enthralling and indispensible for understanding modern history (Timothy Garton Ash )”
