Excellent, intelligent TV

Like most fiction, there are several logical, factual and dramatic flaws but that does not detract in any significant way from this series.
If you like history, are interested in Germany or specifically Germany in the 80s and most of all, if you need your TV drama to be smart and complex, you will love this series.
Yes it is extremely unlikely that a border guard with a fake identity would be accepted as an assistant to a West German general, but the characters and dramatic themes are extremely compelling. The attention to detail in terms of East v West Germany and early 80s vibe are outstanding.
I only wish that a "season" was more than a mere 8 episodes!
