He gets assigned to figure out the sources of a betrayer, Thomas Shaw. A Peek Into The Storyline Source: ĭaniel Miller, an informer of the CIA shifts to Berlin with a secret mission. It was then renewed for 2 more seasons in 20. The first 10 episodes which were aired on Epix, in 2016 won many hearts. Taking on such a big story is paying off, and leading to some great television.Olen Steinhauer has indeed created a masterpiece when he came up with such a thrilling suspense show, Berlin Station. It’s a bold start to the season, and one which took me by surprise. Armitage is playing Daniel with more conviction this year, as well, selling the character more than previous seasons allowed.īerlin Station had some stumbling in its initial two seasons, but in its opening hours under new showrunner Jason Horwitch, the show has hit its peak and is incredibly strong. He is a slick presence on the show, Córdova pulling off the role with the right amount of flair and mysteriousness. Ismael Cruz Córdova joins the cast as Rafael Torres, a capable but unorthodox agent who helps assist on the ground in Estonia. The initial two episodes sidelines a lot of the other major players of the series, focusing in on Daniel, Robert, Valerie, and April. The present day events lend themselves well to the season, hints of cyber warfare through fake news and commenting on sowing chaos through division. It’s a more dangerous season, with a feeling of dread present in even some simpler scenes. The powers standing against them are more vicious in terms of getting their way. The stakes these characters are playing with is more tactile and feels deeper. The visual style is more handheld and energetic this time, one extended sequence at the end of the first episode more tense than the show has done before. There’s a good dynamic with them now, their characters more at ease and established in their roles. Valerie (Michelle Forbes) is now head of the station, with Robert (Leland Orser) and April (Keke Palmer) at her side. ![]() Daniel Miller (Richard Armitage) is also seeking the truth of a defining moment in his life while on a mission in Estonia, while those back at Berlin Station try to put it all together. As was the case with the previous season, there is an air of the real world’s landscape in its political stage, of testing barriers in systematic invasion. Season three begins with the rumblings of invasion in the air, and Berlin Station is tasked with sussing out the threat and piecing together assassinations and Russian plants in Estonia. In these two episodes, however, the show finds its footing in equal parts under a new filmmaking style which lends a sense of urgency to its look and feel, and a renewed purpose through its once lacking characters. The Epix spy drama was bumpy in its first two years, its plotting a little murky and its focus a little sporadic. There is an immediate notice of change in Berlin Station in the beginning of the third season. The show returns on Sunday, December 2nd at 9pm ET. Author’s note: Two of the ten episodes were provided for review by Epix.
