My comments: I loved every minute of this series. I LOVE the way it seamlessly goes from the present in Berlin and back to the roots of the story in Brooklyn a year or so previously. The actors were superb and believable, you're rooting for all of them all the way. Apparently the Brooklyn part is based on Deborah Feldman's memoir, but the Berlin part was totally rewritten.
