Amazing series One of the best I have seen on Netflix
-
This series starts out really strong, with excellent character development and a clearly defined plotline, but like every German produced series I've ever seen, it eventually gets so over-engineered with side plots that it becomes completely incoherent. It finally collapses upon itself early in season 3. Sad. It had so much promise.
-
One the finest TV series ever produced. A must for fans of historical fiction.
-
I like it BUT very hard for me to get past the really bad English speaking voice actors. I've never seen a show more poorly cast. I am sure watching it in German with English subtitles would be better... I'll be switching to that...
-
One of the best series I've seen on Netflix. It's full of historical color and has a gripping plot. The acting is superb, especially that of Liv Lisa Fries, who gives her character a believability that really moves you--bold, resourceful, unapologetic about trying to make her way in a very troubled time and place. Yet with a depth of feeling for those facing the dark days that will lead to Nazism, including the dissolute embrace of dancehall frenzy, which is so brilliantly caught in the show-stopping number seen at YouTube as "Zu Asche, Zu Staub (Psycho Nikoros)". TV doesn't get any better than this.

It's very simple. Watch in the original German with English subtitles... it makes <all> the difference. This is art. It doesn't try to win you over instantly. After the first episode you'll be, "ok, but I don't see what the big deal is... " after two episodes you'll be, "oh wow that's good..." after three episodes you'll be in... this is art... the characters get deeper and deeper and deeper. But this isn't for everyone. It's <german> gritty. They do dark and somber and raw like we don't really do in the US. There's a blase acceptance of sexual kink, and sexual commerce, that we do not do in the United States. I think it's brilliant and true, but it might not be your cup of tea.

Best German serial ever!! Would watch again and again!!
-
I don't understand what was so exciting for others about this series. Just another series and actually bored to death. I watched it all the way, all seasons...The only thing I liked was the 2 first episodes, and then it became boring and out of touch...
-
This show never disappoints.

Great show that exposes viewers to an amazing place and time - pre-Hitler era Berlin, a wonderful, wild place that totally disappeared with the changes that followed. There are some minor timeline flubs, like when the protagonist uses a perfect 2022 CPR technique on our drowned heroine when the process had not been invented until the 1950's. Also, like their American counterparts, German productions just cannot seem to resist letting contemporary politics seep into the story-lines. Overall a very enjoyable show and I look forward to the 4th Season.
