Based on the first two episodes of Berlin Station, I'd recommend this show. This is a promising spy thriller written by bestselling author Olen Steinhauer, who is a master at telling spy stories. The first two episodes provide the framework for the story and its ensemble of characters, each with their own foibles, lies and background that remains to be revealed.
As the IMDb summary outlines, a CIA field agent is sent to Berlin to uncover the whistle-blower Thomas Shaw who is releasing damaging intel against the CIA. The station is under a ticking timebomb to find out who Shaw is before the next set of damaging leaks. Central to the story is Daniel Miller (Richard Armitage) and Hector DeJean (Rhys Ifans) who both have something to hide and both involved in finding (or hiding?) Thomas Shaw. Cool cinematic shots of Berlin and strong acting by all cast, with promise to build over the next episodes. Don't expect this to be a thrill-ride in the first two episodes, this isn't a feature movie. But overall, thumbs up!
