Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsThe Amsterdam scenes were mostly filmed in the "Holländischen Viertel" (Dutch Quarter) of Potsdam. Though most cars had Dutch license plates attached to them, there's one with a German license plate with the P from Potsdam. Since it is possible to drive from Potsdam to Amsterdam in a reasonable time, a single German Plate could be a tourist.
- Quotes
Ivan Krupin: Ali, Alichka, no one does it better than you. You've played these men for years. They trust you. Talk to Saul.
Featured review
Weak
This episode was pretty weak. First of all it didn't move the story forward that much. I also hated the fact Carrie calls 'old friends' and introduces new characters just to solve a problem the writers have. Characters the audience doesn't know at all. They are just puppets to drive the story.
As a Dutch guy myself I got immensely irritated by the fact the Amsterdam portion wasn't shot in the Netherlands at all. They just took a German city and motion tracked number plates and street names. It looks very weird. You can hear people talk German and some street names aren't tracked at all (since when does the 'Senkestraße' intersect with the 'Tolstraat'? Some plates were tracked pretty badly, showing a wrong color and a non-existing number plate. I've seen this before in one of the Bourne movies too; showing Brussels accompanied by the text "Amsterdam". It's sad a high-value crew disrespects a city/country with crappy research.
Unlike the previous seasons, there's no real suspense. There are just a sequence of actions and nobody really cares what is going on.
