There’s a new one on Netflix called Dogs of Berlin. I binged it last week. I have to say that it’s ok, not much more. Rather spoilt by a feeble ending to my mind.

Hiya Braunschlag,
I love 'Berlin Station'. Typically this type of espionage programme is never easy to understand.
I think Richard Armitage would make an excellent James Bond; a return to the suave and tall type that we have lost.
The recent series 'Babylon Berlin' was most enjoyable.

I enjoyed it but wonder if two parts might have been enough? They went to the nth degree getting the 1950s feel right, and Heaven knows how much all those props/sets/cars/clothing cost. ... It did seem to drag a bit at times, especially episode 2.[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]

Better Call Saul (Netflix Original)
Blackly comedic post hoc prequel to Breaking Bad. Off beat, gritty indictment of the North American legal system, featuring outstanding performances from Bob Odenkirk, Rhea Seehorn and Jonathan Banks. Why should you watch it? Well, for the camera work alone, if nothing else. The writers (Breaking Bad’s Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould) wanted to ‘honor the look of Breaking Bad (shot entirely hand held to preserve the nervous intensity) without having it feel like the same show … we don’t want this to look like anything else on TV’ Using unusual camera angles, non-standard framing, and lighting that gives strong diagonal shadows give a memorable film noir effect entirely suited to the Albuquerqe NM setting, where, I suspect the light contrasts are particularly strong. Well, I liked it ...And the tune ends too soon for us all
