Criminal: Germany

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.

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!

The German series is a must watch. The dialogues are on point, the script has twists and interrogation techniques are visceral. Each Episode of 40 minutes keeps you guessing who did what and why with realistic twists. A wonderful blend of emotion, anger and logic, these short stories are entertaining as well as gives a deeper look into why people do what they do. Nina Hoss (Homeland), Sylvester Groth (Inglorious Basterds) and Eva Meckbach deliver intense yet realistic performances.

As a huge fan of Mindhunter, this is no less with faster storytelling and BANG ON without any drag. I give a 10 but would reserve 9/10 for the sake of sanity. Don't miss this.

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.

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.
