Deutschland 83 - Season 1
The series begins in Germany in 1983, a German soldier named Martin Rauch, a 24-year-old naive German soldier, was appointed as an obscure spy to collect monastical information in West Germany for East Germany. Martin after being a simple border guard was given that exciting task. Rauch is hiding in the German West Army and must collect NATO military secrets. Martin appears to be confused between his primary mission as a spy for East Germany and his ailing mother who is suffering from diabetes. It's the story that looks exciting to a 25-year-old young man in doing that dangerous mission.

It's enough to make us demand more, possibly an entire channel of German drama, if they're all this good.

The threat of mutually assured destruction has never been so much fun.

Deutschland 83 can be a little clunky at times, and most of it is subtitled. Nevertheless, it's a taut thriller with some cool '80s spy moments - near-miss escapes with sexual elements.

The clunky '80s spy technology is riveting. The locations in and around Berlin add visual interest. Nay's cool, understated performance is a plus.

It's not as intense a viewing experience as The Americans... this is more of a straightforward, slightly lighter spy thriller, with lots of tension about whether our hero will be caught and if he'll ever be allowed to return home.

Trust me, watch the first 20 minutes of Deutschland 83 and you'll be hooked for the remainder. It's an adroit spy caper rooted in vivid history.
June 17, 2015
Deutschland 83 is a stylish take on the spy genre that carefully balances its humor with high stakes, and with Nay as an anchor, promises that this is a spy caper worth a few summer weeks.

Deutschland 83 is a genuine corker, with flashes of graphic style-an angular black-and-white dress, a carefully arranged drawer of cigarettes, cash, and Nescafé.

The premiere episode of Deutschland 83 delivers an excellent mix of coming of age character drama and espionage derring-do. For viewers not allergic to subtitles, it's well worth watching.

This is a period drama that sometimes lacks drama but makes up for it with a deep sense of period.
