Dogs of Berlin

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this Byzantine Crime Mystery. After watching Dark I thought I'd check this one out. Each episode sustains tension beautifully. The acting, cinematography and score are first rate. As far as Noir goes this one would be up there on my list. My only criticism is that there is a slightly misogynistic view of women portrayed in the show. The unlikely pairing of Grimmer and Erol as the duo who try to fight Berlin Crime offer viewers a real treat. You really care for them as characters - so when they succeed you practically want to cheer. This immersive German Noir demands a second season.

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 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.

This series deserves better than a 7.5. It down & dirty in the Gang/Underworld of Berlin. Probably not for every one, but the acting is superb. It has been my experience that many foreign shows don't get the credit they deserve.

This is the first German show I've watched on Netflix and I was hooked from the start. All the characters are flawed in some way, most at least partially redeem themselves by the end and some don't. Some of the many intertwining storylines are a bit OTT and a bit superfluous but the show was thoroughly enjoyable and it would be great to see a second series.
