We've been watching Weissensee, a gripping drama about the last days of the German Democratic Republic and the first two weeks of the trump administration.

1. I have MHz choice (which is great) and have

been thinking of watching this. I am on the fence because I think it may get me even more depressed.

2. It's pretty illuminating.

The characters are quite good. Some are extremely likable and others go the other way.

3. Ok, I'll give it a try.

BTW, I just finished watching Beck. It was excellent, especially the last 3 seasons.

4. Is that the only place to see it?

5. I don't know

We started watching that station a couple of months ago. It's a chance to work on my French, German, Dutch, Italian, and Swedish while subtitles are conveniently provided. My Wife enjoys it too.

6. Yes, it's very cool.

I understand just enough German to pick up an occasional phrase. "They're up our noses." The Kupfers are a great dysfunctional family.

7. I like dear old Dad.

He's a cunning old fox.

8. Walking the tightrope between his two sons, and he kind of enjoys it.
