Created by acclaimed author Olen Steinhauer (The Tourist), the series follows CIA analyst Daniel Miller on an undercover mission at the US agency’s Berlin branch, where he undertakes a range of cases involving terrorism, damaging leaks and more.
A synopsis reads: “Berlin Station is a contemporary spy drama that follows the activities of CIA operatives on a global stage amid investigations of moles, terrorists, corrupt politicians and more. Transitioning from his job as a CIA analyst in the U.S., cerebral officer Daniel Miller’s (Richard Armitage –Hannibal, The Hobbit) new mission puts him under cover at the agency’s Berlin branch, tasked with sorting out messy cases involving damaging leaks, whistle-blowers, terrorism and more.”
It continues: “Mentored by jaded veteran officer Hector DeJean (Rhys Ifans – Snowden, Elementary), Daniel learns the disorderly world of field work means dealing with deception, danger and moral compromises. As he dives deeper into the German capital’s hall of mirrors and discovers conspiracies that lead back to Washington, D.C., he wonders if anyone can ever be the same after a posting to Berlin.”
Richard Armitage, known for his roles in North & South, Missing You and The Hobbit film series, leads the cast as Daniel Miller.
