I would echo Unkated's recommendation if you get a chance to watch this programme. I just watched the first episode on Channel 4 in the UK and thoroughly enjoyed it, particularly the opening scenes where the lead character is still in East Germany. The music was also good, including a quick burst of 99 Luftballons.
I'd particularly recommend it to anyone playing a German pc in a T2k game (especially East Germans - I really enjoyed some of the interactions between the various East German characters).
(For anyone in the UK who does want to watch and missed it, it's airing on Channel 4 on Sunday nights at 9pm and the first episode is available 4's On Demand service now).
