It was very well done. I think I saw it recommended in the 10 favorite shows thread so cheers to whomever did that. The implausible premise seems to be mainly a tool to mine German Cold War nostalgia, in somewhat the same vein as Dark and Deutschland 83. There’s also some similarity there with The City & The City by China Mieville.

I'm through 5 episodes and have more thoughts but suffice to say I was very disoriented to see people wearing masks in public in the first episode.
