Deutschland 89

Entertaining series. Music was a lot better in 83, 86 seasons. Good wrap up for 89. However, there was no need for the last 10 seconds of political visual commentary. Comparing the Berlin Wall with the United States southern border is asinine.

A great finale of the third season for me. By chance I saw today that the final season is online and I watched all the episodes straight away. well corona time. I've lived in Berlin since I was born and have often visited East Berlin with my father. always with the entrance fee of 20 D-Marks per person. The Berlin Zoo was cheaper! In the west everything is illuminated and modern, in the east of Berlin the smell of two-stroke engines and the houses sometimes looked as if they weren't renovated or renewed after the 2nd WW. Today it looks completely different. The actors, the script and the integration of the authentic film material are very successful. German productions are apparently only good if they are financed by Amazon or Netflix, see "Dark". It's worth watching the 8 episodes!

After a tank full of red herrings, the series comes to a deserved conclusion. It is nicely worked through, although some might say a little on the cheesy side.

Looking back at the production in its totality, almost every good quality that we could have wished for was there in abundance. A dynamite script, a relentless pace, and some very classy acting ... to mention just a few.

And almost as the credits begin to roll, we are served up one final treat. Footage of President Trump extolling the virtues of his wonderful new wall. History repeats, and lessons are not always learned. In such cases, poking fun is the prerogative of the filmmaker. - 8.8/10.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching all 3 seasons. I was a teen (from the UK) during these years, so I remember quite vividly the goings on & music from this period of the Cold War era.

I just love this series. Depicted nicely the complex political situation in Germany (east and west) during the cold war era, and gave an idea how it had a huge impact on global politics. Of course there are some side stories, but they made the series more interesting.
