Babylon Berlin - Season 1

There are many characters to follow, but the script, acting and visuals are all top-notch. And please watch it in its proper German language and not dubbed in English. 9/10

Deutschland 83 - Martin Rauch is recruited by the HVA to infiltrate the West Germany army. As a rookie spy, his decisions constantly put his cover at risk and force his agency to take extreme measures.

This was my third time watching this and I've come to like it more than The Americans which is already an excellent show, but this one does the cold war spy theme a little better. 10/10

Babylon Berlin - Season 2

The writing is clever almost to a point of unbelievability, but it's still an incredibly gripping series. 9/10

Deutschland 86 - Abandoned by Moscow and desperate for cash, the East German leadership pushes their secret operatives to experiment with global capitalism and save their sinking socialist ship. Long banished to Africa for his sins in 1983, Martin Rauch is now sent back into the field.

The locations for this second season move away from Germany for the first few episodes which takes away a little from a reason why I liked the first season, Deutschland 83, so much. This series remains however, an excellent mix of drama, suspense and humor and I look forward to watching the final season, Deutschland 89, sometime after the holiday. 9/10

Just watched the trailer, I hadn't seen anything of this before. It looks pretty good, I'll give it a try.

His Dark Materials. 8 out 10

The first season was a slog but this season has really hit a stride. The last episode was fantastic. No spoilers but the "vengence" line, oh my.

American Horror Story - Season 3 2/10
Awful. How can writing and acting take such a nosedive from one season to the next?
