The driver and his mate are shot in the head; the Trots lied, it’s their train now and they are heading for Berlin. Everything leads to and everyone is going to Berlin, Babylon Berlin (Sky Atlantic, Sunday), heart of the Weimar Republic. It’s not yet clear – I don’t think – where Volker stands politically. The club scenes – plus that train, and the outside recreations of late-20s Berlin – are fabulous and stunning and reflect the massive scale and ambition of Babylon Berlin. In trying to appeal to the many, Babylon Berlin is maybe less appealing to the few.
