Weissensee

Ok, we admit to come clear... we did watched this serie in 3 days and now we have S3 to see. This is really a very good serie about how it was in those days.

Nobody could trust anyone. No one had any privacy.

This to keep the system without commercial market mechanisms etc intact. But by doing that, it corrupted the system itself. Inequality in powers is what one also can observe in todays world. Within corporations, etc.

All in all, go see this serie! Great acting, good directors work, good music, etc etc.

Also nice the way the set lights are done, old 80's style. Same with the cliff hanger stills and bits and props ...

For the last time; do see this great serie!

We watched all four seasons on MHz and there are English subtitles. I would like to seen another season as only one of the recent story lines was concluded in Season 4 episode 4.

First year's 6 episodes were hard to watch, because of mediocre acting and script. Keep in mind that it's set in the at that time very poor DDR. Second year is much more credible, with the same actors. Historically correct!

You love binge-watching? It hardly gets better than this German serie about East-Germany in the '80. It's on Netflix and a must see. Storytelling takes you up & down like a rollercoaster.

I never wrote a movie review before but I had to drop a few words about this wonderful series. I am very demanding when it comes to natural and convincing acting and I was deeply impressed buy the cast of Weissensee, specially Florian Lukas, Jörg Hartmann and Anna Loos. I also loved how the director took the time to take us deep into each character, by the end of the 4th season you felt like you really knew the deepest thoughts of every single one of them. I am very thankful to know now more about what really was going on in the DDR from the side of the people that went through it, and also so happy to keep discovering more and more great german actors. 10 deserved points and two big thumbs up for Weissensee!
