Deutschland (2015)

Deutschland 83, the first season, Germany, Best Drama Series 2016. Martin Rauch, a 24-year-old East German border guard, is sent west as a Stasi spy inside the West German army in 1983, at one of the tensest moments of the Cold War. Jonas Nay plays him as a frightened kid in over his head, and a soundtrack packed with 1980s pop, from Nena to New Order, makes it a lot more fun than a spy drama has any right to be. It was the first German-language series to air on an American network, SundanceTV, and the story continues in Deutschland 86 and Deutschland 89, ending with the year the Wall came down.
