Superb spy series, the best on TV in a very long time. The first really good one from modern Berlin.
The first episode or two are a bit shaky, but don't worry... by episode 4 it's sailing along, and gets more and MORE exciting. Each new episode brings new surprises to a really complex plot, and the direction is assured and satisfying. Even the final episode 10 brings new twists in the plot, and new depth to supporting characters.
Rhys Ifans is incredible - powerful and nuanced performance. Michelle Forbes (from way back, Ensign Ro) is terrific in a supporting role. Richard Jenkins shows what a fine actor he can be with a good script and good direction. Other supporting roles are spot-on, too.
Wonderful. Don't worry about the first episode or two - just relax and let this top-notch spy series take you on a roller coaster ride!
