I could only watch part of one episode. I used to really like Ashley Judd's performances but she is truly awful now. I hope they kill her character off.

In many ways this would never had been made if Homeland hadn't been such a success. That said, Berlin Station is just as well made and just as devious, just as convoluted as Carrie's show.The cast is strong and well chosen. Plenty of character acting at it's best. In someways it's too good and by the end of an episode the viewers may not quite understand what has happened. It's the sort of show that warrants a repeat viewing to really get to understand the tiny details that lead up to the season finale.Season 2 has continued to explore contemporary political themes just as Season 1 did with whistle-blowing. I won't give anything away save to say the Trump administration and the rise of far right politics in Europe feature centrally. I've watch the first 4 episodes so far and there are lots of twists and turns already to take stock of. If anything the show is more assured than Season 1, which is a welcome improvement. I also found the accuracy of the character portrayals of a few new cast members and their politics very close to reality. Season 2 has a subtle fear factor because the far right are a very real scary bunch and are presented excellently in the show.Highly recommended, cerebral spy thriller with superb acting, strong characters and a nail biting plot.

I enjoyed season 1 of Berlin Station. It's not the best show on TV, but it certainly isn't the worst. However, with the addition of Ashley Judd, the second season is very difficult to watch. Her acting is stale and stiff, and the writing for her is horrible. Not to mention, her character's name is BB Yates. Say that out loud. It's pretty much the name of the robot in the most recent Star Wars movie. Episode 2 of the second season was pretty enjoyable, but that was because Ashley wasn't in it. But after watching just the first few minutes of episode 3, I'm already tired of her again. Michelle Forbes' character, Valerie, was by far the weak link last season when it came to acting. Now, with her and Judd in the same scenes, it's almost unbearable. Do us a favor, producers, and let's move on from the Ashley Judd experiment.

I watched the entire first season of Berlin Station, and it was a fairly good series full of interesting characters and a plausible story line.The second season is actually painful to watch. It's a hard left story line, mainstream politicians on the right are portrayed as Nazis etc. The new station chief character is played by Ashley "Pu**yhat" Judd. With lines like "everything is alt-right", it's just a big stinking political sh*it show. Stay clear.
