This is a very good suspenseful thriller. It has
subtitles because it's all in German. A young border
guard, Martin (Jonas Nay) in East Germany is forced to go
undercover in West Germany, to spy for the government. This
takes place about the time that Ronald Reagan was
thinking about bombing Russia. Martin just wants to get back
to his mom and girlfriend, but he's forced to do what his
government is forcing him to do, even though it's very
dangerous.
This is not "The Americans." It's a much more realistic
show. Nay reminds me a little of Elijah Woods.
He has similarly big eyes and shows a lot with them.
There are only 8 episodes, but they lack a lot of great
story into it. There's action, suspense, and even some
comedy. You want to make sure to catch it if you missed it.
Sorry I waited so long to review it...I had a little
trouble viewing it the first time around because the
subtitles were hard to read. They're very small and lightly
colored. I had to sit very close to the TV to read it.
