Forbes is strong and clinical as Head of Berlin Station, Valerie Edwards. The women of the show – Forbes, Palmer, Judd, Tander – all deliver quality performances. Orser is a fantastic actor and does well with providing a human element and showing that spies are not immune from all sorts of issues. Leland Orser gives an authentic performance as Kirsch, and his human touch is a constant throughout the season. A mention also should go to Steven Frost (Richard Jenkins), who has an immensely interesting past and present, and has an unexpected leading part this season given he’s no longer in the employment of the CIA. The pair of them have some fantastic adventures in hostile territory, with both of them acting well together. None more so when he is in cahoots with the enigmatic Hector DeJean (Rhys Ifans), who once again is a magnificently intriguing character. They meet the capable, intuitive and somewhat off-the-rails CIA agent stationed there, who instantly ingrains himself in the action and he provides many memorable moments throughout the series. We’re first introduced to him when Miller (Armitage) and Kirsch (Orser) visit Tallinn, Estonia. Ismael Cruz Cordova is an exceptional addition to the cast, his Rafael Torres character really is a scene-stealer. To be honest, the opening episode is perhaps the episode that focuses on this storyline the most, although the writers have set up the possibility of season four exploring it further. However, this particular storyline doesn’t receive enough coverage for most of the season, and only begins to garner interest in the final quarter of the season. The mystery surrounding Diver deepens in the opening episode – Miller believes Diver may be the man who killed his mother.
It concerns a CIA officer codenamed “Diver”, who infiltrated East German Stasi headquarters during the fall of the Berlin Wall and rescues – from Russian clutches – the future leader of Estonia, who brings relative peace to the country. The show also features a narrative that flits in and out of episodes, which is not explored well enough in the opening half of the series. The writers couple it with ongoing discontent being manufactured in the country, in a clear attempt to destabilize Estonia and to usher in a new Iron Curtain. The opening storyline sees the introduction of a potential Russian plot in Estonia, complete with a social media troll factory designed to take down the young and charismatic Sofia Vesik – in line to be the next prime minister of Estonia, whose politics don’t marry with Russia’s.
