A few notes from someone who saw Shadowplay (the first episode) yesterday.
This is translated of course. Sounds like they were more interested in post war Berlin as opposed to the character's stories, which, I get it, but a dramatic series and rather a documentary on it might be what you're looking for if you're not looking for unnecessary drama.
Quote:
#CANNESERIES out of competition #Shadowplay I was delighted to see a fiction evoking Berlin year zero. Clearly Babylon Berlin's influence is palpable, but too many suspenseful intrigues kill the poignantness of a crumbling daily life and the subtlety of the Cold War.
I'll watch the rest because I want to understand where it comes from but only one of his intrigues the brother deserter / the hunt for the Nazis would have been enough for me and a pity that the heroines are confusing. Taylor Kitsch and Michael C Hall in the credits with @ninahoss
