Deutschland 89

Well what a series this is, interesting, light hearted, complex, captivating and truly a must see for anyone interested in Cold War, 80s music and some damn fine acting.

I can honestly say, the scenes with Sylvester Groth and Neil's Borman were excellent, and they had me play them over and over again. Outstanding actors and simply owned the screen when on.

It's a series that you should not miss, and do not view a dubbed version, watch with subtitles if you don't understand German.

Hoping there's gonna be more.

Sure, it's a different tone to '83 and '86 but it hits the mark. It also manages to highlight the chaos of the times and the hypocrisy of all parties and ideologies. Good fun.

Entertaining series. Music was a lot better in 83, 86 seasons. Good wrap up for 89. However, there was no need for the last 10 seconds of political visual commentary. Comparing the Berlin Wall with the United States southern border is asinine.

Due to the dynamism of the era and rapidly changing events (often chaotic) this Series may seem more hectic / less profound, but both BRD and DDR had such times in 1989... Decisions had to be taken rapidly, background information was limited, nobody knew how the USSR and West would react... I am sure there are no exaggerations in the script. Families, friends, relatives became involved in different opinions and activities plus the shadow of Stasi was around anyone - in spite of his or her former or current views.

The cast is strong here again, mostly familiar faces, with new angles and approaches. Again the mail characters and performers are more versatile here (as DDR was in fact a "male" society as all socialist countries - in spite of slogans), with Jonas Nay and Sylvester Groth most to my liking.

The ending scenes are somewhat peculiar, and it seems that Deutschland ´92 is not envisaged... Although I would not mind to see what happened to all these surviving personas in the unified Germany.

The first part Deutschland 83 i watched withing 2 days. Brillant regisseur, the actors and the story. I was waiting of the other parts of story and I wasn't disappointed.
