See more Soprano J @Soprano111 4d Every one should give an eye this masterpiece its tremendous See more Jags T 5d Outstanding, intense, gritty, thriler See more Deborah C. @decent Feb 21 Awesome movie, can’t wait for season 2. See more Tony S @TOzzie Feb 20 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 Feb 18 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...
