Babylon Berlin, spring 1929: A metropolis in turmoil. From economy to culture, politics to the underworld – everything is in the grip of radical change. Speculation and inflation are already tearing away at the foundations of the still young Weimar Republic. Growing poverty and unemployment stand in stark contrast to the excesses and indulgence of the city's night life and its overflowing creative energy. Gereon Rath, a young police inspector from Cologne, is transferred to Berlin in order to solve a criminal case – a porno ring run by the Berlin Mafia. What at first glance appears to be simply a matter of extortion soon reveals itself to be a scandal that will forever change the lives of both Gereon and his closest associates. Together with stenotypist Charlotte Ritter and his partner Bruno Wolter, Rath is confronted with a tangled web of corruption, drug dealing, and weapons trafficking, forcing him into an existential conflict as he is torn between loyalty and uncovering the truth. And we are left wondering: in this story, who is friend and who is foe? (HBO Europe)

Die erste Hälfte von Gereon Raths Fall Nasser Fisch ist wirklich faszinierend. Inmitten von Korruption, Pornografie, aber auch der spektakulären Welt des Jazzclubs Moka Efti... Die späten Jahre der Weimarer Republik waren nie so attraktiv für die Öffentlichkeit wie hier. Nichts ist schwarz oder weiß. Neben den Problemen der einfachen Leute spielen sich auch Dramen in der hohen Politik ab, die Armen amüsieren sich mit denen an der Spitze. Die historischen Gegebenheiten sind großartig. Menschen am Sonntag läuft im Kino, und in den Filmstudios findet das Casting für Der blaue Engel statt... Die ersten acht Episoden sind eine fesselnde Mischung aus zeitgenössischem Fresko und rohem Krimi.

A strong four stars. An awesome film noir (or should I say ‘series noir’?) set in the Weimar Republic, which was a fertile breeding ground for various political factions, as well as a thorn in the side of many Germans. I've always liked interwar Germany, just as much as I like the period of Prohibition in the US. The story was very well written, and I was pleased with the acting performances and the great atmosphere. All in all, I'm very happy with the first season.
