An excellent under-the-radar spy and social drama: The Same Sky

The Same Sky - a highly intelligent spy thriller from Germany - is one of the many Netflix imports that flies well below the radar; I saw it mentioned in an article, but I don't know anyone else who's seen it or even heard of it, which is a shame because it has a lot going for it. Set in 1974 (the Nixon impeachment comes up from time to time in the back story), the narrative focuses on a young East German agent sent into West Berlin as a "Romeo," that is, his assignment - closely monitored and controlled by his bosses - is to meet a woman target (she's working in a top-secret NATO surveillance center), engage her in romantic and sexual relationships, and pry out of her vital information about allied forces in Germany. In addition to this main story line, dramatic and disturbing as it is, we get a few secondary narratives - all of them clearly related and tied together closely by various family relationships, notably a teenage girl pressured into competition for the Olympic team from EG, which entails massive doses of illegal hormones, and a young h.s. teacher in East Berlin, who is gay and who hopes to begin a new life in the West, against all odds. Throughout, we see not only the spy story itself but we get a sense of the daily life in East Berlin, under the constant surveillance of the state, with families, workers, children kept under constant pressure to rat on one another and to toe the line. But the West is no utopia, either, and we actually have a sense of the nobility of those in EG who truly believe in a socialist rather than a capitalist state and economy - although holding fast to this belief become increasingly irrational and troubling over the course of the brief (6 episodes) season. At the end, all major characters are under stress and forced to question their beliefs and their relationships to one another, sexual, romantic, familiar, and otherwise. My only quibble is that 6 is not enough; many plot developments are far from resolved at the end of Season 1. Leaving some opening lines at the end of a season is fully expected, of course, but there is so much unresolved the end of this season it feels as if the narrative stopped in midcourse. (Maybe there are more episodes but just not read for English-language viewers?)
