Looks like an interesting bit of dystopic espionage drama with a speculative fiction twist. I was very impressed with J.K. Simmons playing the two versions of a world weary U.N. operative.

I thought it was big on background and setting; a bit thin on story., posted on January 23, 2018 at 15:46:24

But its just one introductory episode. Hard to say anything objective. Simmons has the weight to carry it.
Good or so-so, its different enough to stay tuned for awhile.

 

Yes. This looks like one wife and I both will like ^, posted on January 23, 2018 at 22:25:46

I haven't seen any episodes of "Berlin Station". The vibe for me was similar to "The Lives of Strangers".

 

Newp, no Berlin Station vibe . . . *, posted on January 28, 2018 at 21:13:13

by now this one is looking really interesting. Spy versus spy. Eastern Europe. The Berlin wall may be down, but the spy biz is going strong. And all this has a new twist.

What was it?....30 years ago when the portal was discovered. Counterparts. At this point we the viewer don't have an explanation for the counterparts. Is it sci-fi?

I'm hooked.

I've seen the first 2 now and it's good enough that I will watch the 3rd not compelling but fun (for me) nt , posted on January 31, 2018 at 20:30:29
