Deutschland 83 star Jonas Nay on refugees and the cold war

[@edwardswann7584]

Honestly, Deutschland 83 should be on Netflix, American's Are missing out on a tense Drama between East and West and Nuclear War

[@sfinn85]

It's on SundanceTV and Hulu in the US

[@TheLastAngryMan01]

It’s on Amazon Prime.

[@depressednugget5984]

Its in amazon prime in india

[@priestpilot]

I discovered it by finding it on DVD in the tiny foreign films section of a local record store. I had no idea what it was about but the cover looked appealing. Boy am I glad I bought it!

[@MsBAustralia]

@@karenhummer1761 which country are you in though? It was never on Netflix here in Australia, instead it was on another streaming service called Stan.

[@RogerDDog]

The moment I started to watch this I thought the casting was spot on. Jonas Nay looked right but also had the ability to portray a character searching for answers with credibility. He was naive and gullible but not so gullible that he wasn't adjusting all the time. He is a real talent and I'm not surprised to hear this show became cult immediately. I was hooked within the first five minutes. I didn't know he was a jazz pianist too (some people have all the talent). It's refreshing to see how likeable and erudite he is too. I can see how he will probably follow Christopher Waltz into the big time as a great German actor in main stream movies at least I hope he does as like Waltz, he's a breath of fresh air from the run of the mill Hollywood star! However please keep making those quality German movies too!

[@TheLastAngryMan01]

Roger D. Dog Waltz is Austrian, but I agree that Nay is a talent.

[@premasru]

Nice comment✌

[@sarcasticsugar4466]

I don't know why this show didn't do well in Germany! I watched it here in the States and I simply LOVED it. Excellent show, characters, setting, casting, story and music! I HOPE it gets a 2nd season!!

[@dovestone_]

Yeah, I'm in the uk and catching up now, it's the kind of thing that's very successful in Britain! It's been really well made with great actors and cinematography etc

[@bluedog5048]

Same its so good! I heard it didn't do well in Germany was because they get tons of similar shows.

[@72freesoul62]

I saw the second season on amazon, waiting for third and final.

[@konrad3]

I don't know what the problem is. I'm German and I loved all three seasons of this show! To be honest, I'm more surprised, that the show did so well abroad since it only has german audio.

[@simonh6371]

It's so full of basic mistakes, no German would take it seriously beyond a few minutes, unless it were marketed there as a comedy.

[@musicloverUK]

Right and proper that Channel 4 had the decency to speak to him in his own language. Excellent prog, no matter most of my O level German forgotten, brilliant acting had you gripped! Can't wait for the sequel.. good luck Jonas with your music! 🎹

[@townsendm794]

I loved the series and it brought back lots of memories. Today l'm a middle aged artist living in London, but in the early 80s, a 20 year old soldier monitoring left wing groups in West Germany. It seems a life time ago!

[@johnmclaughlan4994]

Loved the series! Hope there is a second 😀

[@thomasbarnard7660]

19 October now must of been editing

[@jeune_turc9404]

Hope there’s a third but...

[@jimmyyang5193]

There is! It’s called Deutschland 86 and partially takes place in Africa as well (Cape Town, Angola, etc.). A third final series called Deutschland 89 has also been planned.

[@72freesoul62]

I saw Deutschland 86 in amazon and was pretty good(not as fast paced as 83 but same agony), waiting for the final part of the cycle, the 89.

[@Smiffy2375]

83, 86 and 89 have been the best and most gripping series I have watched in quite a while. Brilliantly coveys ( I suppose) the cold war aspects and what it was like in East Germany in the 80s

Deutschland 83. Brilliant series.

[@ahmetozdilek1355]

Whata nice movie.I so much enjoyed ! Greetings from Turkey 🇹🇷

[@egg2683]

Really enjoyed these series. I was in the former GDR in 1992, 3 years after the fall of the wall. I was in my early 20s and with a bunch of Brits and very playful West Germans. Jonas Nay really perfected the blank, serious -almost fearful - look of the citizens over there. The contrast between the different people of the same country was very stark back then and Eastern Germany looked as if it were fossilised in the 1940s. This has definitely reawakened my interest in the Cold War and would love to return to see how it's all changed. It also shows us a perspective on how the Cold War has impacted on the problems we have in the Middle East in terms of our respective relationships today

[@sapta151]

i just watched Deutschland 86 in amazon prime and loved it....cannot find 83 though...can someone help?

[@ylegin]

great series!

[@Drummerladd257]

This is show is sooooo good!!!! Incredible filming, brilliant story line and great acting! Far better than any bullshit drawn out shite like Game of Thrones.

[@thewitchhiahia]

+Leah Leo But nudity and rape scenes don't equal bad. Orange is the new black for example can portray a rape in a very realistic way which shows like game of thrones fail to do. And since nudity is a pretty normal thing, it's only good if it's being de-dramatized in tv shows!

[@thewitchhiahia]

Leah Leo I totally agree that a movie sucks if its only plotline is to get as much laid as possible. But of course there are good movies which contain a lot of sex, for example Blue is the warmest colour. There the focus is about exploring your own sexuality, which is an important subject that should be portrayed without getting criticism for being "too exploitive".

[@iAnton3000]

Is there a longer interview of this? I feel like there should be.

[@punarvasuiamback6578]

[@jasontownsend6128]

What a great show… and theme song. Had Peter Schilling’s Magor Tom on 45 English one side and German the other.

[@Flies2FLL]

-The reason this series is popular is the main character's perceived vulnerability versus his obvious beauty. Our eyes are attracted to this sort of thing irregardless of orientation. The historical context is an unexpected plus. That and the music is really good too!

[@elisaernst5788]

Did anyone heard of "Grenzmuseum Schifflersgrund"? It's a border museum with lots of old cars and helicopters and more stuff like that. It isn't the best at the moment but the owners are working on that they wanna have a new order there so you can choose between technical and knowledge stuff.

So right to be proud to be german! The only country that takes responsibility for the important things in this world: The economy, democracy, the enviroment, human rights, equality, the future, etc. Gott Sei Dank Für Deutschland!

[@Leodn]

As a Latin American, the only German people I ever appreciated were the eastern ones, the only ones that denounced the fascist military regimes that the Americans sponsored in our region and Karl Marx. Out of Europe, the Soviets certainly did more for the World than the Germans, with their World Wars of aggression. And they were neither out of one continent nor one nation, but simply proud proletarians, like me and so many others. Big fucking deal you were born in Germany. My ancestors were also born there, bu they came to Latin America for better opportunities, back in the times when Germany wasn't even a unified country yet. Even countries come and go faster than CLASS. We were always WORKERS, and always will be. All of those who do not live out of renting property or money, including small time entrepreneurs as myself should respect more the communists. Sure they've made mistakes like everyone else, but their philosophy was one of peaceful coexistence through class consciousness. Nowadays only bankers rule our western states. Even in China they manage to have neutral government towards different ethnic and sexual preferences without repressing productive enterprise owners, but we stay put with ghosts of the past, like parasitic private financial rentism and it's imperialist nature.

[@joesila3105]

and after MAGDENBURG do you still thin that the standpoint of Angela Merkal was the right one ??

[@Leodn]

Not enough people value being a hero of the international proletariat like those proud East German brave socialist people were. The way to solve international problems needs to be international, as German Karl Marx and English Friederich Engels have already found out long ago. We should all be proud to be the hard working people that we are, proletarians. If there wasn't NATO interventionism in the middle east, there woud not be a refugees crisis in the first place! WORKERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE! You have nothing to lose but your chains!

Friedrich Engels was a German, too (born in Barmen, which now is part of the city of Wuppertal). He moved to London shortly before his 50th birthday.

[@Bellocks1]

Er, I don't get this. Jonas Nay speaks English, and this is an interview for Channel 4 in the UK, why is the interviewer insisting that he speaks German? To show off that the interviewer can speak it too? Seems stupid.

[@majav15mg]

Ich verstehe zwar ganz alles, was er in diesem Video sagt, aber beim Anschauen der Sendung verstehe ich ganz weniger. Manchmal verstehe ich fast gar nichts. Als ob alle Schauspieler einen ganz anderen Akzent und Ausdrucksweise dabei hätten... Warum ist das so?

[@majav15mg]

***** Wenn ich mir die Sendung mit Untertiteln anschaue, bemerke ich nicht, dass die Ausdrucksweisen der Charaktere einfacher oder komplizierter sind, sondern dass sie sich halt ganz schneller ausdrücken. Es könnte auch daran liegen, dass die deutsche Sprache in Sendungen und Filmen üblicherweise anders gesprochen wird... aus irgendeinem Grund.
