    I’m midway through 86 now, and still enjoying it. Don’t really see any dip in quality myself. Walter is becoming one of my favourite characters in it.

    Think I did read that it will be on All4.

    I too am half way through '86 and I also think Walter is brilliant.

    It's a great franchise.

    I've known about it since it came out but have only started binge watching it on All 4 this last few months.

    I suppose it will be available on the All4 website?

    More 4 are advertising it now. Presume that they will show it weekly, so if you want to binge watch All4 is your option, if they make it all available there straightaway and don’t wait for it to finish on More 4. Either way I’ll be there.

    89 wasnt too bad, an enjoyable watch but it seemed to run out of steam with too many little side stories going on from my liking

    I gave up a few episodes into 86...didn't hook me in at all like 83.
    I always meant to go back to it though

    Me too. I loved '83 but lost track of what was happening after a couple of episodes of '86 and gave up.

    Deutschland 83 & 86 Recap


    Thanks for sharing that, really enjoyed it. I'd actually forgotten a lot of 86, remembered all of 83, which, imo was the better of the two. looking forward watching 89.

    89 starts tonight on More 4

    Just finished the first episode of 89. What a great show and soundtrack.

    Just finished the series, loved it, a close second to 83 for me and that’s saying something. Loved the montage at the end, powerful.

    Loved the scene to the end
    when the HVA bosses see on tv the opening of the border, and the use of actual tv footage. Goosebumps!

    5 episodes down, and loving it.

    Mostly enjoying this, though at times I don't have a scooby what is happening.
    Thought the episodes with Martin undercover with the 'Baader Meinhoffs' went on a bit, and the Winkleman/CIA scenes are a waste of space.

    Up to episode 6 (the one that was on More4 last Friday).

    I thought the scene in Tina's apartment was superbly done. I genuinely didn't know whether Tina was wrong or the guy had indeed been the Stasi interrogator - thus I was sharing her doubts and confusion as she tried to work it out. (Maybe it was obvious either way for an attentive viewer who remembered the interrogator or knew the actor?).

    The scenes in Sorrento were great fun as well - again I'm not sure whether the Fuchs' are becoming capitalists and planning to keep the loot themselves, or whether they are genuinely trying to relaunch the communist party. And I don't know whether that's something which should be obvious to me, or whether its to be part of the denouement. :confused:

    Doesn't look like we are getting any Annette (Martins ex, mother of Max) this series. A shame because it looks like the scenes with the teacher were originally written with Annette in mind and they don't really fit now.

    I’m at that episode too. Whoever the guy in Tinas apartment is (and I don’t remember either) he’s certainly up to no good.

    I think Fuchs is definitely enjoying his new lifestyle. His “scheisse” when he saw Lenora arriving was quite telling. He also seems quite open to working with the CIA/BND. One thing I didn’t get from the previous episode is where Max shows Walter the photo and he uses it to blackmail the woman from the bank. What was the significance of the photo ?

    One of my all time favourite TV Series that and The Americans great acting and great storylinesI never get tired of them.

    Just finished episode 6 today myself. It did start off on a bit of a meander, but it has been getting really enjoyable now; this last one was great tv. Weaving in the narrative of real history, with properly fleshed out characters is making this into another excellent German series.

    Anything else German you’d recommend cd ? I’ve heard good things about The Same Skies, which was described as basically Deutschland 74.

    I have Same Skies cued up (only 1 series afaik), and looking forward to it.

    Babylon Berlin is top notch tv.

    Dark might not be everyone's cup of tea, but if the reviews' blurbs grab you, it is one of the best shows out there of its ilk, German or not.

    +1 Dark changed my view on subtitles. Such a good show! When something is that good the inconvenience becomes irrelevant. If anything it forces to watch and concentrate.

    I enjoyed this. I was in the DDR in 1985/86 and the reconstructions of products and colours of things are spot on. Some very funny moments.
    Loved when Walter was going to go over to the West in his clearly East German issue suit, hat and coat.
