Synopsis
Kleo (2022) is a German spy thriller series you can watch online on iFILM, starring Jella Haase as a former Stasi assassin who walks out of prison the moment the Berlin Wall comes down — and immediately starts hunting the people who put her there.
She spent years inside while East Germany quietly disintegrated. Once free, Kleo works through a list of targets with the same methodical calm she once used on state assignments. Trailing behind her is Sven, a bumbling West German detective who witnessed one of her kills and can't let it go, gradually becoming the show's unlikely conscience.
The setting — the early 1990s reunification chaos, when old files and old loyalties kept resurfacing in uncomfortable ways — gives the show a specific texture that most spy thrillers skip. Haase plays Kleo without softening her, which is why the performance lands: there's dry, dark humor in the gaps between the violence. Stream all episodes of Kleo online on iFILM.
