Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Some things I liked some I did not.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

I persisted for 2 and a half episodes but no, I still had no idea what was going on and nor did I care.
Despite admiring Richard Armitage as an actor and usually loving spy thrillers, I could not get into this series at all. His American accent was not quite right and the casting of Leland Orser's in his CIA role was a strange choice.
The only mystery for me was whether Thomas Shaw was wearing a wig.

In many ways this would never had been made if Homeland hadn't been such a success. That said, Berlin Station is just as well made and just as devious, just as convoluted as Carrie's show.The cast is strong and well chosen. Plenty of character acting at it's best. In someways it's too good and by the end of an episode the viewers may not quite understand what has happened. It's the sort of show that warrants a repeat viewing to really get to understand the tiny details that lead up to the season finale.Season 2 has continued to explore contemporary political themes just as Season 1 did with whistle-blowing. I won't give anything away save to say the Trump administration and the rise of far right politics in Europe feature centrally. I've watch the first 4 episodes so far and there are lots of twists and turns already to take stock of. If anything the show is more assured than Season 1, which is a welcome improvement. I also found the accuracy of the character portrayals of a few new cast members and their politics very close to reality. Season 2 has a subtle fear factor because the far right are a very real scary bunch and are presented excellently in the show.Highly recommended, cerebral spy thriller with superb acting, strong characters and a nail biting plot.

I enjoyed season 1 of Berlin Station. It's not the best show on TV, but it certainly isn't the worst. However, with the addition of Ashley Judd, the second season is very difficult to watch. Her acting is stale and stiff, and the writing for her is horrible. Not to mention, her character's name is BB Yates. Say that out loud. It's pretty much the name of the robot in the most recent Star Wars movie. Episode 2 of the second season was pretty enjoyable, but that was because Ashley wasn't in it. But after watching just the first few minutes of episode 3, I'm already tired of her again. Michelle Forbes' character, Valerie, was by far the weak link last season when it came to acting. Now, with her and Judd in the same scenes, it's almost unbearable. Do us a favor, producers, and let's move on from the Ashley Judd experiment.

Somebody get Valerie to a good hair salon! If she's supposed to be hot, that hair kills it immediately. Otherwise, great show. Season 2 started off GREAT, episodes 1 and 2 were spectacular. Episode 3 was too talky. We like a little action with our Spionage, and bugging a phone doesn't qualify. Other than that, it's living up to the high standards set in season 1. Keep it up!But get Valerie a good hair stylist.
