In 1929, Gereon Rath, a police inspector from Cologne, is sent to Berlin to break a blackmail ring, and ends up among cabarets, Communist cells and corrupt cops, helped by a typist, Charlotte.
Starring Volker Bruch, Liv Lisa Fries, Lars Eidinger
Dense period crime for viewers who like following several plot threads at once, with brutal violence sitting next to cabaret numbers. Volker Bruch plays Rath, a war veteran struggling with morphine dependence, and Liv Lisa Fries's Charlotte dances at the Moka Efti after dark. When he loses control of an interrogation at headquarters, she is the one who helps him through it.
The first two episodes throw a lot of names at you at once; it settles around episode three or four.
