Review of Spy City

Spy City (2020)
10/10
Good Cold War series.
9 January 2023
I am a sucker for anything do with spies in Berlin during the Cold War so this series scratched an itch. I lived in Berlin as the wall was coming down so it's intriguing watching it go up. Also, I'm a fan of Prague where the show was actually filmed. The whole thing feels authentic.

No one is reinventing the wheel here but it's all good genre fun. Double-crossers, guns fitted with silencers, vintage cars and stock footage circa 1961 that's interspersed with the new narrative footage. It's all really well done.

It's quite cat and mouse with the added jolt of not really knowing who the cats are. I dug it. Hope the make another season.
