KLEO (2022) Series Review

Over the past few months, I’ve watched one of the longest series I’ve committed to in a while:
Kleo.

And today, I want to share my thoughts on it. Overall, I really enjoyed it, but there are a few things I’d like you to know before you dive in no spoilers!

Kleo is a German-language series, and the cast is full of actors I hadn’t seen before.

The actors were almost perfect in their roles, in my opinion. The story takes place during the time of the Berlin Wall coming down, and it goes around among many elements and smaller stories that feel like they could actually have happened (not literally, but very realistically).

Storyline

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, a former spy killer is set free and embarks on a revenge spree against the people who conspired to betray her.

The main character, Kleo (played by Jella Haase), is an agent caught up in a really bad situation. After some events, she’s determined to uncover the truth. During all this time, a persistent cop is chasing her, trying to get to the bottom of the mystery too.

After they meet each other, there is a lot of interesting scenes around them that keep the viewer hooked.

One thing I really enjoyed is the action scenes in the movie. Dont expect the American style action, but they do keep you hooked and there is a natural flow, while the plot is mostly well executed.

Beyond the suspense and intrigue, there are some really funny and interesting characters sprinkled throughout the episodes, which lighten the mood and make the series even more enjoyable.

This is Thilo, one of my favorites and a highlight in the series!

If you would enjoy a German thriller, with strong performances, a historical backdrop, and good played characters, Kleo is definitely worth checking out.

Its imdb rating is 7.5/10 and I would definitely place it above 7/10
