Review by Æthelred

I'm only on episode 2, so I may have a higher opinion later. So far, what I see are wooden acting and stock characters. That's especially true of the New York Police Department detective. He keeps saying "NYPD," as if people in Berlin would know what that is just by its initials. He is unshaven, which people weren't back then unless they were transients, and perhaps usually not even then. Finally, the inability to write a creative script and, as a wan substitute, lard every tenth word the detective utters with f-bombs and occasional s-words is not only utterly ahistorical (I doubt anyone tossed around f-bombs like that in 1946), but a constant reminder of the scriptwriter's (or scriptwriters') lack of both historical knowledge and linguistic skill.
