KLEO is a German NetFlix original mini-series, of eight episodes, about a Stasi assassin, betrayed by her own people, seeking answers and, of course, revenge on her betrayers.

It's (optionally) both subtitled and dubbed in English (as well as other languages). The English dubbing was so good we rarely noticed what we were watching and listening to was dubbed.

The protagonist, Kleo, is cute, quirky, and interesting. Imagine what you'd get if Sheldon Cooper (Big Bang Theory) or Abed (Community) were trained assassins and that's about what you'd have.

Plot holes abound. The first episode or two are kind of slow. The dialogue will sometimes provoke eye-rolls. But, if you can get past all that, it's pretty fun.

I'm two episodes in on this show. I like it. Kinda fun to see what other countries are producing. Reminds me of Killing Eve without the humor. I'm delighted to hear it picks up.

Yeah, 'round about the third or fourth episode it starts getting going. By the time you get halfway in, you're hooked

They wrap it up pretty nicely, too. Better than a lot of series' do.

I have two more episodes to go. I have up and down feelings about this and some eye rolling at times. But I keep watching... That says something.

We are about 4 episodes in. It’s like a German Pulp Fiction.

I'n enjoying this show, 2-episodes in so far. Gonna binge later this week.

It's off-beat enough to keep it light, interesting to what 80's look like through German eyes. Anybody getting Miami Vice/Sonny Crocket-vibes from Petzold?

I stopped after E1. I’ll try again starting with E4.
