If I am permitted to shill here, I would like to shill this - Babylon Berlin. It’s a neo-noir psychological thriller series set at the tail end of the Weimar Republic. It deals with the looming emergence of Nazis and the breakdown of Weimar democracy. It showcases the corruption, decadence, culture and tragedy of late-stage Weimar Germany under a detective/gangster/political perspective.
Season 4 Trailer (because it’s a great trailer)
There are currently 4 seasons. Not sure on what service Americans can watch it on currently, but the production quality feels genuinely HBO tier.
I watched S01-03 originally on Netflix here in the US- looks like it’s no longer available. But glad to know S04 is out! I’ll have to hunt it down.
It also has an incredibly stylish 20’s intro and the soundtrack is great too! Def. one of my favorites- if you like Peaky Blinders, it has a similar level of production quality and art direction.
I’d also recommend to you based on this: Paris Police 1900, Balkan Shadows (if you can get a hold of this). Balkan Shadows is quite literally just the Balkan version of this.
I wish thumbnails worked for non-linked content.
