With anxiety?
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

I'll probably binge watch it - I liked the first episode.

Re: Babylon Berlin
I'm surprised nobody else has taken any interest.
There's some good bits and some unbelievable stuff although their Facebook page keeps updating with historical facts on what the plot events are supposed to be based on.

Watched both seasons and found it excellent. Visually, it was sumptuous, the acting elegant, and we even had a Bryan Ferry cameo croon. Liked the way various Roxy and Ferry tracks were re arranged and incorporated into the soundtrack

Re: Babylon Berlin
I binge watched it over the weekend and was blown away by it. The depiction of inter war Berlin seemed authentic, as did the juxtaposition of the grinding poverty with the desperate decadence.
The intertwined storylines were gripping; so much tension. Expertly paced. And the two leads were mesmerising- especially Charlotte. Acting was brilliant overall.
I read they’ve commissioned a third series: they can’t make it quickly enough for me!

I don't have Sky but it sounds interesting.
Nonsense to the aggressiveness, I've seen more aggression on the my little pony message board......I mean I was told.
