The series begins with the powerful and dramatic events of a CIA agent in Berlin, Germany, and has a secret mission. The CIA agent enters the mission to find out the source of the diversion, which transferred the information to a now famous person named Thomas Shaw. It is a series of events that men face in order to successfully retrieve that information.
Filmed in Berlin and Spain's Canary Islands, Berlin Station has the right look and feel of a great spycraft series, but it lacks the drive or urgency of a show like Homeland.
The secret at the heart of the series is that Hector, a man who's done many questionable and indefensible things, provides this murky world with the remnants of a moral compass.
Berlin Station... is a tense, terse thriller - good-looking but never fussy, balancing character and plot in satisfying proportions, a new suit cut to classic lines.
