Deutschland 83 is the eight-part flagship of Channel 4's new Walter Presents streaming service. That service got off to a flying start with this East German version of Homeland - the story of an undercover Stasi spy who infiltrates the West German army in 1983.

The plot of the first episode was pretty simple. Martin Rauch (Jonas Nay) is a square-jawed, 24-year-old East German soldier, recruited by the Stasi. His mission is to imitate an aide-de-camp to a senior West German officer, and get hold of American plans for attacking East Germany.

The first episode depended on fairly basic exercises in tension creation. When Rauch threatened to give up his mission and return home, he was told his dying mother would then be taken off a kidney transplant list. To break into the West German officer's room to photograph classified documents, he deployed his not very glamorous training in lock-breaking. It was hardly a patch on Q's sessions with James Bond, even in the early Bond films.

So far, so unremarkable, then. The pleasure came from the little details of life on the other side of the Iron Curtain. 1983 isn't so long ago, but Communist East Germany now looks like another planet: the orange curtains, the cheap clothes, the pathetic excitement of teenagers at listening to illicit western pop music, particularly Nena's original German version of 99 Red Balloons.

All this was extremely well done. Much of the series was filmed in the old Stasi headquarters, now the Stasi Museum, in East Berlin. As well as being a monument to a corrupt state based on mass informing on each other, the Stasi HQ was a lesson in early Eighties bad taste.

The subtle differences between East and West Germany were also teased out. Agent Rauch clearly didn’t have to learn a new language to move from East to West, but he does have to learn the tiny differences in vocabulary that had developed over the four decades since the war. While West Germans shopped at Supermarkts, East Germans went to the Kaufhalle.

When Rauch ended up in a Bonn Supermarkt, he was astonished by the range of food on offer. You got a subtle feeling that he was already beginning to doubt the superiority of the East, merely at the sight of grocery shelves, fully stacked with apples and oranges.

The period feel was heightened with snatches of news footage of Erich Honecker, the East German leader. Most gripping of all was a televised excerpt from Ronald Reagan's "Evil Empire" speech in 1983. In it, Reagan quoted from CS Lewis's Screwtape Letters, where Lewis wrote that the greatest evil is ordered "by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice".

That everyday nature of evil was cleverly captured in Deutschland 83. The Stasi baddies spoke the same language as the goodies in West Germany; they wore less fashionable versions of the same kind of clothes. And the charm of the protagonist, Martin Rauch, was such that you rather wanted him to pull off his clunking espionage stunts against the West - ie us.

This is a period drama that sometimes lacks drama but makes up for it with a deep sense of period.

Juuh, montaasihan siinä oli, mut mietin sitä, että kauan se ehti kotiutua siihen virkaansa, kun tosta jäi sellanen fiilis, että ekana päivänä tuli Jacksoni käymään ja hommat hoitu.

[Timo Jutilan maksa]

Ihan mukava ekan jakson perusteella. Eiköhän tämä tule kytättyä.

Luulis, että olis jääny heti kiinni tai herättänyt epäilyjä. Kuitenkin hieman eri kulttuuri varmasti ollut armeijojen sisällä, eli slangit ja rituaalit ja sen semmoiset. Hyvä sarja kyllä!
