Kleo Plot/Synopsis
The official synopsis of the series reads, “After the fall of the Berlin Wall, a former East German spy resolves to find out who betrayed her and why — and use her lethal skills to exact revenge.” In the year 1987, shortly after liquidating a businessman in West Berlin on behalf of a secret Stasi commando, top East German spy Kleo is arrested, denounced by the Stasi and even betrayed by her own grandfather.
After two years in prison, the Berlin Wall suddenly falls and Kleo is released. But she soon realizes that the conspiracy against her is much more complicated than she thought and that an ominous red suitcase is a key to it all.
Kleo thus embarks on a revenge spree that leads her through the anarchic Berlin, improvised electro clubs and Mallorcan fincas all the way to Chile’s the Atacama Desert – with the West Berlin policeman Sven constantly on her tail, chasing the case of a lifetime.

Highly recommend Kleo. Kept us on the edge of our seats wanting to binge watch but we disciplined ourselves and only watched one or two episodes a day. We didn’t want it to end.
