Watch in the highest quality.
I started this German series last night on Netflix and I was blown away to the point I finished it a bit too quickly for my liking. A little back story to help you understand the video is knowing that this drama is set in 1974 in Germany back when the Berlin wall was still up. The communists have set up a mission to uncover intelligence secrets by sending their best men to seduce and manipulate women in government positions within the West. Lars went flying through the training with high marks and was accepted to take part. He ends up with the target 43 year old Lauren but something tragic happens to her and he's set a new target instead of heading back home which would be Sabine. At first he's doing his job as he should but along the way he starts acting differently and questioning his handler which causes suspicion. Of course Lars (Oscar) falls for Sabine and vice versa.
Aside from the 'Romeo' mission there are two other side stories which are closely linked. One of them being the story of a young teenager preparing for the Olympics and having to go through bodily changes due to steroid use. She doesn't take them on her own accord but her Coach feeds everybody on his swim team them to improve their strength. The other story is about a group of homosexuals who hate living on the communist side of the wall and want freedom so they end up making a tunnel in the plans of escaping. There's a sweet gay romance and I'm hoping despite their troubles they'll make up in the second season.
OH YEAH! There needs to be a second season. It literally feels like only a quarter or half of the story has been told. I can tell you now but waiting for the second season will be torture!!
