Deutschland 83

Post by smithcorp »

New drama series from Sundance, made and set in Germany during the height of the Cold War, about an East German border guard who is sent to the West German army as a spy. Not so easy to get, but Bib and I have managed to watch 6 of the eight episodes so far. Great show, great tension and great music (if you appreciate the era).

Recommended - 4 out of 5 electrodes attached to your nipples.

Managed to get a DVD box set of this from Amazon. You have to make sure it's got subtitles though. Apparently not all of them do.

Right now I'm devouring it. Thanks for the tip Smiss.

I notice its on Stan - we are starting a one-month free trial of it and I saw the series is available there. Neat show.
