Solid top cast carrying the show. Besides the top 3 someone has has decided that all supporting actors need to have a unique look and unique personality resulting in the series losing its realism. And if it's one thing you want in a crime TV shows it's realism.

The over-acting is making this hard to watch at times. Worst being Rose/Leah Byrne but a lot of others helps as well. There seems to be a general misconception in showbiz today that "ordinary" people acting normally will be bad for the show. When nothing could be further from the truth.

I might update this if/when I've watched all episodes but this is the initial feel.

I don't like giving this movie a low score. The acting is excellent, the characters feel real and present, the dialog is spot on. The score is for the story.

This is yet another movie using anxiety as the only theme. The controlling and narcissistic father, the emotionality abused mother, the non-committing girlfriend, the demanding colleague. And the main character in the middle, barely able to breathe.

If you like 2 hours of anxiety followed by 5 minutes of "happiness" this is the perfect movie for you. Personally, I hate feeling like I did walking out from the movie theater. Simply put, the balance is off.

• So. For the main character. Should we go for a good actor that would make a plausible spy or a guy with big hair?

• Lets go with big hair.

Other than that, some good acting and a good story with some well made 60:s Berlin settings.
