It's got great reviews and has my 2 favourite things in the title so that's next on my list. Loving Deutschland 83 - some of the plot elements require suspension of disbelief, but as a historical thriller set in my lifetime it's gripping. And the bit where he discovers the Sony Walkman is hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not actually started it yet, was away for the Christmas period and missed the first episode so will have to watch that one online. I've got the rest taped though, will get cracking with it this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Yeah crack on! I have met some friends post-Glasnost who are the same age as me (mid 40s) but who grew up in East Berlin. I could listen to them talk all day about what life was like before the wall came down, so it's really interesting to watch D83 as a drama. So far they seem to be avoiding making life in East Germany seem utterly miserable, and Reagan is adequately portrayed as a warmongering nutcase rather than the rather more sympathetic picture his obituaries later painted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanish Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Just started Underworld: Picador Classic (English Edition) Don DeLillo maybe a bit Baseball orientated in the first chapter but it lays down a feel of the time that is quite impressive. Too early to say but it looks good so far. BTW I don't think it is a baseball book per se Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I hate too. It's quite hard to really get into a show without having the option of binge-watching. My two favourites, not that I've seen too many series on Netflix are Prison Break followed by Breaking Bad. I would have hated watching it as it came out and having to wait a week between each episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Saw the first episode of The Night Manager (BBC1) last night. Very strong cast & looks like it could be a cracker. I haven't read the source book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume you meant iplayer, because it was the 2nd episode last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then talking to my folks last night they said how good it was & it was then a last minute iPlayer job before it expired. Phew. Can't stand trying to play catch up having missed the beginning of something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its from a Le Carre book so it looks like it will be slightly intricate, but all the better for it imo. The locations are absolutely stunning as well. I'm gonna have to read the book now but will wait until after the series has finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
