Deutschland 83/86/89 [SundanceTV] [Spoilers]

brian_t · 02-11-2015 11:57pm

This series has just shown up in the RTE2 listings in DigiGuide.

It's starting on Sunday 29th November at 10.30pm

DMcL1971 · 02-11-2015 11:59pm

That's great news. I have a couple of friends who want to watch this but don't know how to get the show. So RTE will be perfect for them.

29-11-2015 4:50pm

Reminder that this starts tonight on RTE2!

10.30 on a sunday night is a ridiculous time to show it :mad:

well done rte:rolleyes:

brian_t · 29-11-2015 11:40pm

I've no problem with that time.
It's a big improvement on when they show Elementary, Hawaii 50 and Mad Men - after midnight.
And some Australian dramas - even later.

Channel 4 will premiere it on Jan 3rd. They might have it on earlier.

Really great fictional betrayal of early '80s Germany, Cold war tensions, and the
Able Archer 83 exercise near miss.

I would have down a different counter-factual ending

Would have worked the 1983 Soviet nuclear false alarm incident into the movie as well it happened like a month before Able Archer 83 exercise started
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Soviet_nuclear_false_alarm_incident
Except set it during Able Archer 83 and have the nukes fly for real.

I presume RTE will break from this somewhere during Christmas.

First episode is on the player anyway. http://www.rte.ie/player/ie/show/deutschland-83-30003692/10499012/

Looking forward to watching this on the Player this week, the reviews have been excellent. The last German language series RTE2 showed 'Generation War' was fantastic, one of the best TV dramas I've ever seen.

Sure just learn German. No need to read then.

brian_t · 06-12-2015 10:48pm

RTE2 is showing episode 2 now 9.30 - 10.30pm.

It's down for 10.30pm in the listings though.

An Ciarraioch · 06-12-2015 11:33pm

Gah - why, RTE Guide!

shamnspace · 06-12-2015 11:39pm

So disapointed just turned over to watch 2nd episode only to see the end credits thanks rte

brian_t · 06-12-2015 11:50pm

They didn't even bother correcting their own listings web page.

I emailed RTE and got this reply :

It was moved to an earlier slot of 21.30 Sundays and will be in that slot until the New Year,
All Epg’s and papers were sent the changes, it was also advertised on tv and online with the change.
Apologies that you missed the programme.

It can be watched back here on the Player at this link:

[URL="mhtml:{C672CEC5-B3E0-4260-97EE-61002876EBA6}mid://00000224/!x-usc:http://www.rte.ie/player/ie/show/deutschland-83-30003692/10501828/"]http://www.rte.ie/player/ie/show/deutschland-83-30003692/10501828/[/URL]

I notice that it will available on the player - Until: Tuesday 05 January 2016

According to DigiGuide RTE are showing Deutschland 83 in a "2 hour 35 minute" slot late night Saturday 19th December.
This might be a repeat of the first 3 episodes.

I hope so anyway as I don't like watching programmes on the RTE Player.

Not to mention that of all the players, it's the only one that won't work in Android!

An Ciarraioch · 08-12-2015 11:22pm

Android Player actually plays now - must have had a major upgrade lately.

beertons · 10-12-2015 8:56pm

Just started watching this last night. Didn't realise it was all in subtitles when I turned it on. Was glued to it though, its very good. Funny too, in bits.

What would you like for dinner?
I'll have a steak please.
What kind?
From a cow.

The innocence!

I see that RTE have a repeat of Deutschland 83 on at midnight Saturday evening. Doesn't say what episode though.

Cheek of a German broadcaster making a historical German show in their native language!

david75 · 12-12-2015 11:24pm

On episode 4. This is a quality series.

An Ciarraioch · 13-12-2015 6:15pm

Will be interesting to see if '86 and '89 get the green light: foreign critics are raving, but the ratings on RTL have been below expectations!

Marje · 28-12-2015 7:47pm

This will start on Channel 4 on 03 January.

After watching episode 4 and was wondering

When Martin and Linda met Annett at the train station, will this come back to haunt Martin later as he told in his interview that he never saw Linda after Brussels.

Azalea · 04-01-2016 2:16am

Wonderful stuff! Dipped in and out when it was on RTE but it was a graveyard slot. Waited until tonight on Channel 4 to watch it properly.

I love the film Goodbye Lenin! and this seems to be along the same lines. Serious stuff but also some great dry humour. Knew the lads would burst out laughing after giving those students the socialism worshipping guff at the border checks office.

The supermarket reminded me of Aldi/LIDL. :pac:

The Cold War imagery and footage is fantastic too.

Tobias on D 83 is played by the same actor who played Alex's sister's western boyfriend and Burger King manager in Goodbye Lenin.

That's where I knew him from! :pac:

Funny how in the Rebellion thread everyone is harping on about how many Love/Hate, GOT actors etc are in it.
Yet between the most prominent recent German films and the recent historical dramas (Generation War and D83) there are so many interlapping actors... and this in a country of 80 million!

Finished up D83 last night, fantastic series throughout but the ending was disappointing. Definitely could have done with another 3 episodes. So many storylines were wrapped up far too quickly. Lenora faded over the last few episodes, I really wanted to find out her background and how she rose through the ranks.

For Martin, it seemed far too easy for him to escape back to East Germany, how did he get home so quickly from a rest stop in the middle of nowhere?! Didn't he just run aimlessly into a forest?

I reckon it was Wolfgang who pulled the trigger in their home. Everything was collapsing around him, and he really had nothing else. His status among his peers was in tatters and his dreams of his son following his footsteps were nothing but a fantasy. (The "Nazi" argument between him and Alex was really thrilling television, very well played out.)

Schweppenstette's bopping to the western rock music was fantastic. Mad aul fella. In general, the soundtrack was whopper! Bizarre that the rating in Germany are so low, was there a similarly disappointing reaction to Generation War?

Bulbous Salutation · 05-01-2016 10:50pm

Been watching this for the past few weeks. It's a very enjoyable show. Great soundtrack as well. Captures the whole Cold War paranoia very well.
