Oct 27, 2018This show is vastly superior to "the Americans" in realism, wit and real poignancy. You need to know a bit about German history and the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin wall to fully appreciate it however.

The series is at its best when it captures the small, human moments that play out amid these flashes of chaos--stolen kisses and thwarted connections and pitched hand-to-hand battles. It’s not perfect, but if it strove for clean perfection, it wouldn’t be nearly as good.
-
The series’ narrative and sociological ambition is admirable, even if its ultimate goal is to be a fun and fast-paced yarn.

Deutschland 86 is beautiful and brutal, humorous and provocative, satirical and sincere. It’s also unique and informative, but never feels like TV vegetables, as it chronicles the last days of communism (which will continue in the third series, Deutschland 89) with wit and heart. ... If you want some truly interesting, even challenging television that’s thrilling and never too dark, give this Peak TV gem a chance.
