Deborah C. @decent 23h Awesome movie, can’t wait for season 2. See more Tony S @TOzzie 1d Tremendous storytelling, it’s a spy story with a series of human back stories, where decisions made years ago, well motivated but concealed from family members, come back to bite, and then play out in messy fashion. The intricacies of the story make it compulsively watchable. I love watching spy stories and accept that not all of the plot events read as typical high-quality tradecraft. But so many espionage thrillers involve suspension of disbelief (eg. Le Carre’s Karla and his daughter) in order to keep the plot going. Just as many real life espionage disasters are driven by psychology and personal needs, not just by money or political persuasion ( read the history of the CIA or MI5 as well as KGB and you’ll see the combination of strange characters in that business). I enjoy the directing and design style from Germany, different from US or UK, but very compelling just like the French did The Bureau so well. See more Paul H 3d Gripping TV. Excellent acting and action throughout. I really liked the couple a lot. Their "daughter" was also very convincing. Her poor boyfriend... My only quibble (very minor and no impact on the show really) is the husband's 30 minute recovery from his "stroke" - not sure how that happened! Series 2+ desperately needed... See more John H @JohnHaba 5d Kidnapping an infant is a horrible crime. All the adult characters who deal with that so so in ways that range from extremely offensive to not making any sense at all. See more Penelope S @Oriole 6d Tough, clever and relentlessly fast-paced, the series delivers a gripping agent thriller without sacrificing emotional depth. Beyond the action, it weaves in love stories and complex human dynamics without ever slipping into melodrama. It portrays empathetic people who make mistakes and villains capable of humanity. There is good and evil - and everything in between actually matters. The acting is outstanding. See more Nicholas V. @gabrielbenavraham 6d This series is in the tradition of esteem TV, featuring excellent acting, a heart pounding script with multiple plot changes and enough surprise encounters to throw you completely off guard. If you thought Cold War era spies went out of style at the end of the Cold War, come to Berlin! You won’t be disappointed. See more Read all reviews
