In my opinion, this weird little show is definitely one of the best German productions from recent years. Mostly set in Bavaria, it follows a psychologist working for the police who stumbles upon an increasingly unsettling series of cases. The common nominator: All crimes are committed by people following old myths and fairytales.
While the show mainly consists of mystery/crime elements and the general tone is rather dark, it does not take itself too seriously. There are a lot of humorous moments as well. The characters are (mostly) charming and somewhat unusual.
The cast, led by Michael Kessler, is magnificent. Not that many "big" names, but it looks like they were born to play those roles.
Visually, I loved it. There are a lot of beautiful shots and locations and the calm camerawork fits the story very well.
The first season is a little short (only 6 episodes, around 40 minutes long), but it makes for a great binge watch. I hope we get to see more soon.
