Deutschland 83

This is a gripping coming-of-age story set against the real culture wars and political events of Germany in the 1980s., starring Jonas Nay.

----------------

Just watched the pilot and it was really good, I think fans of the show The Americans would also enjoy this.

Just watched episode 2+3 and this show just gets better.  Joint best summer show I'm watching (along with Mr. Robot)

Re: Deutschland 83

Episode 4 took a turn

Spoiler

I was sure Linda would last a bit longer before she realised  Martin was a spy and ultimately be killed off.

Guess I am the only one watching this show?

Re: Deutschland 83

just started watching pilot, and its hard to follow because of the very tiny subtitles sad

Re: Deutschland 83

Americans don't like subtitles. My German was pretty good in college and this show is bringing it back. Not a bad show either.

Re: Deutschland 83

So watching episode 1, he just arrived at the West German military base and I am looking at the cars there "I have driven that, yup driven that too, oh and that one too".

That is right, our military uses the same goddamn 30 year old vehicles big_smile.

And Eastern Germany was like "We had the exact same TV, that chess looks exactly like the one we had, that furniture sure looks familiar".

Re: Deutschland 83

The music in the show is brilliant and totally adds to the show, hoping people are watching this in Germany as it deserves a second season

So it is not our fault alone, if it gets canceled wink

I know it's based on Space Oddity and also on Ashes to Ashes by David Bowie, but personally i still like Major Tom more.

Re: Deutschland 83

Thanks for the recommendation of this Katy. Very good so far after the Pilot.
Wouldn't surprise me if the BBC didn't pick this up to be show on Four.
