Berlin Station
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5191110/
This only started in October. I'd added it to my 'Trakt' list of series I may watch. After our boys jolly in Berlin I decided to give it a go. I'm glad I did. Not only have I been pointing at the screen when I see places we visited, but it's developing nicely into a really good series. Some great smoke and mirrors where nobody can really trust anyone. It keeps you on the edge a lot. There was a fantastic reveal in episode 5. I won't spoil it - but even though I'd watched each episode closely I didn't see it coming. And episode 6 has fired the series into life.
I read it's already been commissioned for a second series which bodes well. So far so good from me - and def a series worth watching. Think along the lines of Homeland, but with better script/ actors and without that whining pain in the arse Carrie Mathison!

Quote:Follows Daniel Miller (Richard Armitage), who has just arrived at the CIA foreign station in Berlin, Germany. Miller has a clandestine mission: to uncover the source of a leak who has supplied information to a now-famous whistleblower named Thomas Shaw. Guided by veteran Hector DeJean (Rhys Ifans), Daniel learns to contend with the rough-and-tumble world of the field agent: agent-running, deception, and the dangers and moral compromises.
