I'm becoming familiar with it, since my son and I recently started watching episodes from the first season. But a well-written story is a well-written story. It doesn't demand familiarity with the characters to be enjoyed. For this one it was enough to know the period, and the characters were well-executed.
You should scramble your brains a bit more by reading my Hans Hotter-tops-Heydrich fic. It may or may not get you into the mood for writing slash, depending upon whether or not you can handle Heydrich being topped. All it took for me was remembering the teased and taunted schoolboy and marineoffizier that Heydrich once was. Nevertheless, Nariel said she couldn't handle it during exams when I told her about it. But I read it aloud in a London pub via Skype on 31-1-12, where it was very well-received. ;-)
