Un espion très recherché

Like other productions that describe those terrible moments of the history of Eastern Europe, this series capture the feel of the years of comunist era. And most important the "changes" that follows in the 90's. Very good acting, music and camera. I saw all 6 episodes in one day! Bravo!

Love a gritty spy drama and this one was the best I've seen in a very long time. The atmosphere and attention to period detail was beautifully done. Very Kafka.

Great sets and it captures the atmosphere of Prague in that era to perfection. But what was the point of it? There weren't many sympathetic characters apart from the wife, and although the plot twisted and turned a lot, which I liked, then by the end scene I felt let down and a bit baffled by what the producers were trying to achieve. As a "slice of life" type of production then it worked to a degree, but it could have been so much better with less characters and more background details. Above average so 6/10.

I used to go to Prague a lot at this time from the UK. I was mainly interested in the pubs and drinking cheap Prazdroj but one night met an East German girl while sheltering from the rain on Charles Bridge. She was one of the young revolutionaries from the DDR who frequented Prague in those days. I made several trips to East Berlin after that to visit her, and she was very worried that the Stasi were going to clamp down on them, so it came as a pleasant shock to see the Berlin Wall fall on TV. I accompanied a friend of hers to job interviews (people were anxious to get a good job while they could) and sitting in the waiting room he pointed out all the ex-Stasi, saying he could smell them! I then spent some nice weeks in Strbske Pleso, Vysoké Tatry with a Slovak hezka holka - eventually my visa expired so I went to the police in Poprad to get an extension. He noticed that I had no receipts for exchanging money (having done it on the black market, of course) and was going to refuse until I said "I thought everything was better now under Vaclav Havel?" - he relented and stamped my passport! These were heady days indeed and I am glad to have been there at that time, though of course I could never know all the torment caused by the StB and communism in general. This series should be required viewing for all the young people now in BLM etc. Who seem to want to bring communism back again.

Everyone should to watch this story. So realistic and raw, i watched all episodes in row.
