While the TV discussion is hot, I figure I'd throw this one out there to check out. It's a German series with English subtitles. Takes place in post WWI Germany and involves the geopolitics of the time. You follow around a war veteran who's become a police investigator. It's really a well made and well written show. I highly recommend it. Probably the best TV show I've seen since The Night Of.
Some of the plot twists were predictable, I thought, but that's fine.
I only wish I knew how accurate it is, historically speaking. Was it an accurate portrayal of Berlin at that time? I have no idea.
Definitely worth watching and binge worthy as well.

Yeah, I burned through it in a few days too, best show of the year IMO. Bateman did a heckuva job as a director. Season 2 is filming now.

That's right ... It slipped my mind that I saw his name as Director if I happened to catch some of the credits. Excellent job .... excellent show.
