Set in the 80's in newly reunified Berlin. Kleo Straub is an unofficial employee of the East German secret police. Unofficial meaning she is a professional assassin, her grandfather is the intelligence General and she has no loyalties except to the state. Right before the fall of the wall, Kleo has assassinated someone in a West Berlin bar. Now that East=West she is sent to prison abandoned by her country. The 8 episode serial follows Kleo as she works to uncover who sent her to prison, who it was she assassinated in that bar and what was so important to keep everything so secret. Sounds like a dark, political spy thriller. But it isn't. Kleo is quirky and all the characters have personality and idiosyncrasies to spare. Laugh out loud funny at times. Loved it.
5 stars (out of 5)
