Ricardo Daly The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
merry-prankster-online This is one of the most gorgeous series every filmed. It has an interesting story and first rate acting.But WOW, Netflix really screwed up the English versions. The English dubbed sound track should just be destroyed and pretend it never existed. I think the dubbing actors must have been working from nothing but a script and didn't yet have the video to watch. I hate dubbing anyway, but only started watching the dubbed version because...The English subtitles also leave a lot to be desired. Whoever translated the German to English obviously wasn't a fluent English speaker and shouldn't have been selling translation services on this level. Let's hope Netflix sees fit to fix the English subtitles so this series can shine. It truly is glorious.
johnalcock-913-788551 First couple of episodes were very good. Cinematography is excellent, actors are good, production values are very impressive and the storyline is interesting at first. But after eight or so episodes, it just drags. Really slow, and seems to meander between the sub plots, and revisit events unnecessarily. I found myself struggling to summon enough enthusiasm to finish the series, mostly persuaded by the hours I had already invested rather than any excitement to watch the conclusion.
stephenlove1616 This series is a brilliantly realized production that rises to the top of the Netflix Originals stable of shows. Set in 1929 Berlin and performed in German (with English subtitles), this complex portrayal of Weimar Germany right before the rise of the Nazis is at once a police procedural and a vivid cultural-political panorama represented by a wonderful cast, direction, music and production design. We follow the journey of morphine-addicted Inspector Gereon Rath, who comes to Berlin from the more provincial environs of Cologne to investigate a pornography ring that has dirt on powerful political figures. He is drawn into a turbulent society roiled by inequality, economic pressure and the competing doctrines of Socialism, Democracy, Communism, German Nationalism and Fascism. As he battles his inner demons rooted in his World War I experiences, he follows the evidence through a demimonde of Jazz Age nightclubs brimming with Pop Culture innovation and moral decadence. This intoxicating, electrifying series holds great relevance for today's American society.
ppeddrrossa This is definately one of the best tv series I have watched in a long time. Set in pre-Nazi Berlin, it shows us a little about those obscure years between WWI and WWII in which Berlin was a liberal and vibrant city but where much was cooking in social an political terms. The acting is amazing, the plot is intriguing and the production is superb! I'm so thrilled to have found that more seasons are to come and so happy Germany is producing such great stuff.
