Criminal: Alemanha

Of the four, Criminal: Germany is simply outstanding. It's emotionally visceral, visually striking, and smart. The relationships between the team members is palpable and the subtle use of pauses and facial expressions was so well acted it feels just how you imagine a "real world" Detective Unit would feel. It reminded me in part so much of Andre Braugher and Kyle Secor's work in Homicide: Life on the Street. All 3 episodes are hard hitting and I cried like a baby. Bravo Netflix! This is the kind of fare we crave. My hats off to Criminal: France as well, which I rated 9/10 only due to a less than strong first episode, but the tension and camaraderie among the French team puts it on the must watch list! Criminal: UK I gave 8/10 only because I felt like David Tennant was underutilized and I wanted full on Broadchurch Tennant. Looking forward to season 2 for these three shows.

I'm a big fan of Criminal UK, it set the bar for the sister shows. I didn't care for Spain, perhaps it was the lame translation, but Germany seems to be the closest to UK that I've seen yet. I'm impressed at how similar the sets are, but so far none of them have lived up to the expectations set by UK. Just when I thought Germany might be a decent version, in comes the 50-something old German guy flinging his coat and stomping his foot. I'm afraid he's going to wreck the entire series for me...

Just like the French, Spanish and English versions this series is unbelievably good and it's just a shame that the episodes are so short and few. Hopefully they'll develop the concept into a longer series as we're only just getting to know the characters by the end of episode 3.

Great casting and storyline and eminently suitable for adaptation to the stage.

Watched all 12 of these 4 different countries, 12 different cases split between 4 teams of detectives. Interesting and intriguing.

Definitely one case here is a direct referance to one of the most infamous serial killers in British and I'd say world history. ( No spoilers given however )

Very good , not too bad the dubbing on this one but the subtitles give more authentic vibe.

Germany deffo as something going on I hope to be revealed in another series.

DONT BAIL ON US NETFLIX!

Criminal germany is really good. The best out of tje 4 criminal series. Way better than the other 3. I watched it dubbed in english. I was glued the the screen. Criminal france was the worse one.
