I couldn't find a thread on this. My wife and I are really enjoying it. Who I woulda thunk that I would like a series set in Germany in 1929, I'm not into period pieces unless it's a good western.

It's in subtitles which will be bothersome to some viewers but heck I need subtitles when it's in English anymore even with a sound bar.

Had I known I would have brushed on some German political history before starting to watch... Trotskyikes, Bolshiviks, Communists, Stalin...etc

3 seasons, we'll polish it off this weekend.

Plenty of gratuitous sex and parting going on. The set and props are top notch imo. Worth the watch.

I've really enjoyed it. Great production value, writing, and acting. One thing about season 3 really, really POed me, though.

I HATE the "how we got there" trope; I LOATHE a season-long "how we got there" trope. Almost made me stop watching before the season really got going.
