Krank: Berlin

This show provides the viewer with an in depth view of the harsh reality of an understaffed, drug infested Berlin hospital. The roles are played out authentic (Berlin accents are correct, people talk slang in a realistic way), the wide shots of Berlin amaze too.

The actors amaze in their way of play- a German, "staring" kind of way. I would recommend this show especially for people from Berlin, and people who always wanted to see how the German capital might look like.

The camera work is fantastic, with a variety of different shots, changes in lighting, pace and sound, this show is really worth watching (until now!)

Wow! What a ride or should I say what a trip!?

I had high expectations after reading the reviews... ... and I loved every second of it. Haven't seen anything like it before. Crazy storytelling straight from Berlin.

Feels a bit like a decent Berlin night of clubbing. Nothing for the faint-hearted.

Big strong and open hearts only.

Left me breathless. Non stop choking, hoping, swearing, pumping, jumping, laughing, crying, loving and of course a lot of dying.

Lovely cast, many new faces, beautiful cinematography, amazing score.

Doctor, doctor I've got ants in my pants.

Bring on the next episodes!!

I was addicted right away and watched it all!

Totally recommended, because it's shocking, exiting and interesting to watch!

It sketches the situation in ERs in a way that it makes you think about the scandalous conditions the doctors have to work in.

Even hard to believe this could be true or a reflection of the real life.

The actors are well chosen and look so tired and almost sick that you can not not sympathize or feel bad, too!

The different stories are diverse and cover many topics.

The language reminds me that Berlin is in a way another world sometimes... but it exists.

All in all: very well done KRANK Team!

What an exiting experience - the final farewell to Germanys questionable history of medical drama series

Stylish, cool and slightly heroin-chic - krank here we come. An updated general hospital in the German metropolis, only at the first glance. This remarkable formate ruthlessly exposes the daily craziness in Berlin's hospitals, run down by years of cost-cutting exercises and poor economic decisions by irresponsible politicians. It is quite a long way from the medical idealism of the oath of Hippocrates to the banal reality of hospital operations, which you cannot get through unscathed as a doctor or even as a nurse.

Krank takes us on that journey.

It would be a shame for people to pass up this very well produced well acted emergency room drama. It's often hard to watch because it's a challenge to watch humanity at its sickest. Whether treating patients or struggling with daily lives, healthcare professionals, deal with many comorbidities themselves.

The lead actress is worthy of note, as is the supporting cast. The show is gripping and extremely nuanced. I certainly hope it will be renewed, and that IMDb ratings will push up into the mid 7.5 range. It deserves it.

I'm not exactly sure how they are so aptly able to create the tense environment that can be a gritty, overrun, urban hospital, in a city with an underside that many simply can't relate to. But Berlin certainly seems like a city with many inner demons, screaming for a resolution.

I wouldn't skip this series if you are looking for something engaging. I always am and this has met my requirements.
