A beautifully produced and crafted film with an exceptional cast, currently it is being shown in the UK's channel 4 programme "Berlin Wall"

It is a captivating three part series based in Berlin, encompassing the periods before, during and after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

For anyone with an interest in this time, or just wanting to watch an exceptional film, make the time to watch it.

Although the language is German, the subtitles are sufficient, although you do need to concentrate, as there are a lot of different characters, and it is important to understand the relationship between them.

However, it is well worth the time, and you will have a better understanding of the period, and be enthralled by an excellent production.

Somehow found this little gem whilst searching through programmes to watch, and it turned out far better than I expected.

Yes, it is crazy and mad in places, but it is an excellently directed and acted piece of sheer entertainment, don't expect to watch a totally believable action packed adventure, but relax and enjoy the crazy action.

The cast is excellent, with each character portrayed to perfection, each with their own totally individual ways.

If you happen to be a prude, or don't like to watch bad language, then turn away, but if you don't mind, you will have a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Would love to have a second series made, but let's see what Netflix decide, they should really go ahead and make it!

Have just finished season 6 of The Crown, and have to say it was the most ridiculous season of all.

Whilst I enjoyed the first few series of The Crown (and I am certainly not a royalist), which was brilliantly filmed and well-acted, with some of the cast bearing a close resemblance to the actual characters, it seems that when the series was moving more to the more modern times, it started to get more and more removed from reality.

In the last few seasons, the dialogue was clearly the figment of someone's imagination, with the final season being totally ridiculous, as to be almost unwatchable, the only reason I didn't stop watching, was to be able to have an honest opinion.

As a production, brilliant in the beginning, again the same for historical information, as for being close to factual I don't know, perhaps is should have stopped a few series earlier.
