7/10
Great new German history TV-show
19 January 2023
Two secret services (Verfassungsschutz and the Gehlen organization, forerunner of the BND) compete in the young Federal Republic. Gehlen's concern is to combat the influence of communism. The Verfassungsschutz is on the hunt for old Nazis.

An atmospheric picture of the West German Republic in the early 1950s is presented here, true to the original style and beautifully photographed. Historical are mixed with fictional characters. Unfortunately, the plot is somewhat predictable, but it is still fun to watch the intrigue play out.

This might not be the new Babylon Berin, but it is close. Watch it.
