More interesting than ´86, almost as good as ´83
Due to the dynamism of the era and rapidly changing events (often chaotic) this Series may seem more hectic / less profound, but both BRD and DDR had such times in 1989... Decisions had to be taken rapidly, background information was limited, nobody knew how the USSR and West would react... I am sure there are no exaggerations in the script. Families, friends, relatives became involved in different opinions and activities plus the shadow of Stasi was around anyone - in spite of his or her former or current views.The cast is strong here again, mostly familiar faces, with new angles and approaches. Again the mail characters and performers are more versatile here (as DDR was in fact a "male" society as all socialist countries - in spite of slogans), with Jonas Nay and Sylvester Groth most to my liking.
The ending scenes are somewhat peculiar, and it seems that Deutschland ´92 is not envisaged... Although I would not mind to see what happened to all these surviving personas in the unified Germany.
score 8/10
