![]() This was my review of Berlin Station S02Ep07 Right and Wrong Review.The fact that a drama about espionage is premiering on Epix is more likely to prompt the question: “What is Epix?” than it is to inspire excitement. Sure the ensuing manhunt would make for fantastic TV but I am not certain Berlin Station wants to go in that direction. For Hector to get her revenge by killing Gerhardt seems to easy. During the first season there was the kidnapping of Clare Itani, and her death proved this show is not above killing some of its principal cast. Berlin Station is often a slow burn but there are times it sprints. ![]() If she has shot Hector, will she shoot Gerhardt as she previously vowed?Īll this is maddening to consider, which of course is the point. As far as I know only one person knows for certain Hector could be on that rooftop – Lena Ganz. If Hector is shot then the question is by whom. Steven and Robert will no longer have a reason to remain in Berlin. If Hector takes the shot and kills Gerhardt everybody’s world will shatter. It is a maddening cliffhanger as on this will hang the remainder of the season. And so by the end of the episode Hector is on that rooftop overlooking the Berlin Messe ready to take a shot. While everybody else complains and some vow to do something none ever will. In this week’s episode it is April who tells him how the US State Department has funded Gerhardt’s PfD for their own gain. His portrayal is hat of a man who burns like a cinder despite the cool exterior. I must really compliment actor Rhys Ifans on his performance. It’s when Hector compromises this belief that shit happens. He has become a cynical man whose only chance to live is to continue to be as cynical as possible. But I also believe that Hector has more life-experience than Daniel. Compared to Daniel he has compromised too often just for himself. Hector has betrayed people, betrayed friends, while rarely explaining his motives. There have been times I considered Hector to be the villain of Berlin Station. Yet, none of this helps in finding out if Hector takes the shot. This foreshadows events that will take place. Valerie is at the PfD rally as Hector aims his rifle, and in a speech she warns April of the comprises she has had to make. Meanwhile Valerie deals with the truth that Joseph has probably stayed loyal to Catarina. It is wonderful how she as transformed since the start of the show. ![]() April now acts as an unofficial supporter of Hector, after she learns of the truth of what Hanes has been up to. This also has repercussion for the relationship between Daniel and Esther.Īll this means that the other characters have relatively little screen-time this episode. Who after attempting to obtain identification papers and have his bank accounts unfrozen is betrayed by BfV agent Esther Krug. Sure he doesn’t like it, but decides to cooperate. Thus allowing the US intelligence community to spot potential terrorists early amongst the Syrian refugee’s in Germany. Leader of the PfD Catarina Gerhardt has promised the US access to all the data feeds the Germans have. During the last episode Robert and Steven discovered US ambassador to Germany Hanes has been funding the far-right PfD. This my review of the seventh episode of Berlin Station’s second season. Did he take the shot? Or was he shot instead, and if so, by whom? This happens as Hector DeJean is aiming his rifle at far-right politician Catarina Gerhardt. I suppose there no way to avoid a spoiler but this seventh episode ends on the sound of a suppressed weapon being fired. Pardon my swearing but Berlin Station just yanked my chain like few shows have. Berlin Station S02Ep07 Right and Wrong Reviewįuck my life.
