Dogs of Berlin

The production values and the acting are quite high. Not just for a german production but in general. Some things may feel a bit added on (like a sexual orientation of a main character) and a bit overcrowded. But overall the show walks the thin line and makes it through.

Actually even when some crazy stuff happens, which may seem out of touch with "reality", it still stays true to the overall vibe of the show. It also explores gray areas and not everything is good or bad. Just because one character does something bad, does not mean they are evil overall.

It's really a shame this seems to not be getting a second or more seasons. But as it is, it is a testament that there can be really good german tv shows.

I thought it is going to be a silly show while watching the first episode, but it turned out to be something way different than expected: a twisted scenario, crazy subplots all mixing into the main one.

The characters are all of a kind which might come a little too much when it comes to sexual propaganda, but might be all normal if taking in consideration the state where the action is going. Ethnic reality in Deutschland is well presented as well. So rather don't miss it, it's crazy, it's hardcore and it's good.

I generally do not like gang-themed stories. I find them boring. What made me watch Dogs of Berlin is my love for the city of Berlin. Because of the content, I expected to last only half an episode before turning it off. But I got sucked right in. I finished the last episode just now and I hope to god there is a second season planned! All the pieces are surely there for another round, but you never know. The two main characters are both complex and relatable. It was a wild ride watching them navigate the dangerous situations they ended up in! More please!

I really liked it. It's very gritty and the characters are fairly complex. That said, the viewer really needs to know a bit about the politics and issues currently facing German society. Netflix did a good job on including a lot of these issues. A previous review on here mentioned the ban of Nazi symbols. Yes, it's true, but the symbol that the Nazi club uses is actually not an "N" (for "Nazi") but rather an "M" which stands for the borough of Marzahn, where the club is based out of. The series also does a good job in characterizing impoverished east Germans & their attitudes against wealthier west Germans. There's really a lot going on that might appear random for someone not accustomed with current events in Germany. The biker gangs, the criminal clans, the police corruption, etc. were all portrayed very accurately I thought. I hope there's a second season. I don't usually write reviews, but this is a pretty cool show.

There are at least 200K Turkish residents in Berlin, a huge community. This series focus on the Turkish - German relations in Berlin by way of ethnic tension, racism, gang rivalcy and control of racket business in the streets all crafted to produce a compelling and vibrant plot. There is also a good production and imagery to give life to violent scenes. Good quality
