John Doyle Globe and Mail 03/12/2021
Fast-paced, tart and unsentimental, Bad Banks is intriguing, a bloody good bet for complicated thrills, and Paula Beer is phenomenal as Jana, queen of misrule. Go to Full Review Suzi Feay Financial Times 04/08/2019
3/5
With a wardrobe as sharp as her haircut, Jana [Liekam] operates with savvy strategy; Paula Beer plays her intriguingly as a woman whose emotions frequently threaten to spill over, rather than a number-crunching automaton. Go to Full Review Victor Stiff In The Seats 05/07/2019
3.5/5
The buttoned-up series begins loosening its collar by episode two - mostly because these bloodthirsty sharks stop hiding their contempt for each other. Go to Full Review Courtney Small Cinema Axis 04/10/2019

ralph b @Ixltoo 08/06/2021 I really enjoyed this German fintech thriller. Paula Beer is excellent in the lead role as Jana, the upcoming investment banker. Beer is one of those actors who says a lot with her eyes, and in this series, with a closed mouth. She reminded me of Victoria Pedretti in "You". They both are always absorbing everything around them and then processing that information and synthesizing their next moves. A good supporting cast lead by Barry Atsma as Jana's boss; and Mai Duong Kieu and Albrecht Schuch as part of Jana's team. Well worth the watch.
