I know, I know, this show is from Germany, however this one is really, really good. Interesting story, solid actors and really well produced. Enjoy it now and thank me later!

 


@RayL, you're a little late to the party! However it's funny how you and I almost have identical views on this show.

Hopefully, German producers grow themselves some balls, get ready to spend money and attract some quality writers in order to produce more shows like Babylon Berlin and Dark. Next up is "Das Boot"! Looking forward to it...

Guys, the recommendations here are atrocious, so I'd like to raise the quality level a little again:

 If you like historical settings and interesting characters, this is it. Even if you're not watching in German, it's great entertainment.

 

 


I don't have Netflix but just noticed that this is starting on national channel this saturday. Seems interesting, although I'm not much into politics, so i hope it's not too much about that... Gotta give it a chance 👍

Thanks!

Just finished the first two episodes of Babylon Berlin.... quality confirmed 👍

Nice to see something this good coming from Germany. Last German shows I've watched before this were Derrick, Der Alte, Marienhof and Das Boot, so it was about time 🆒

I've only watched season 1 so far. Maybe I'll start today with season 2. Sure, in a week or so open a topic for discussions, maybe I can answer some question, the show is pretty complicated even without the language barrier.

That's my boy! 👍

There's only one way to deal with communists:Babylon-Berlin-TV-Show-Sky-5

 But I don't think anyone of the Russians is being portrayed in a better light than the other side. Like one of the police officers said, "as long as they just kill each other, who cares?" And honestly, in this show, the borderline between "good" and "evil" is very, very fluid...

So, I finally watched the second season of Babylon Berlin and to me, this one was even better than the first. I'm not really sure how to feel about the final episode, though. I'm definitely looking forward to season 3...

So in the mean-time, Das Boot started today, heavily promoted by sky Deutschland. If the reviews are positive, I'll be watching in a few weeks. So to get ready for this new version, here's the best scene from the 1981 movie:

I am very sad about how Netflix decided to destroy House of Cards. 6th season should have never been made without Kevin Spacey, they should have cancelled it altogether.

By the way, original House of Cards UK was great too. The Crown is also great series.

Now watching oldie: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. While it's a cheap copy of Babylon 5, it's still very watchable.

Guys, good news! They are currently shooting season 3 of Babylon Berlin and the new 12 epidsodes are going to be released next fall! I'll need my fix soon...

 The sequel of Das Boot received bad grades on imdb, so I'll take a hard pass here. I was already on the fence due to the producers including storylines including female characters and the Resistance :Laugh: (doesn't make sense if you watched the movie). But OK, after Dark and Babylon Berlin, a miss was about to happen sooner or later.

Currently I'm watching:

 It's OK if nothing else is on, but nothing special! Too many plotholes and logical head-scratchers...

Watched Solo A Star Wars Movie last night and have to say I really enjoyed it. In case anyone hasn't seen it I won't give any spoilers.

What I'm really waiting for though is for the final season of Game of Thrones to start. I've got money on John Snow becoming the King of the seven Kingdoms so really hoping that
a) The white walkers get their asses handed to them.
b) Cersi Lannister gets her comeuppance (even if I do think she's hot lol)

Another series I really enjoyed was Westworld. Only trouble is I have no idea how season 2 ended. I recorded it on sky but forgot to click the Keep button so it auto deleted. I did catch the first half of the final episode. Might try to find it on you tube lol.

Time to give you guys another quality recommendation:

Really, really interesting, especially since the series is based on a true story. Check it out, you won't be disappointed!

Seen it :) amazing one indeed @WuDu. Lately I am somehow drawn to these types of documentaries. Another one that I highly recommend is Evil Genius. Literally gave me chills.

Usually I don't watch docus on my laptop, I also think most Netflix content is trash and this show had a rather bad rating on imdb. So ususally I'd stay away, however due to your recommendation I watched. I think it was an OK documentary, maybe a little long in the end, 3 episodes, all of them a little more packed, would have been enough. Also, the most important question hasn't been answered. Why did they strap a real bomb to the pizza guy? Also, the bank heist was a total failure, so I'm not so sure why Marjerie is labeled a genius here...:Laugh:

Surely if a criminal of any kind really was a "genius" we would never know because they would never have been caught. Maybe the only criminal in history that could be described as a genius, all be it twisted and deranged, would have to be Jack the Ripper as he was never caught or identified.

Sure, but my point was that the pizza guy with the bomb strapped to him, never even made it out of a nearby parking lot. How genius can you be when your plan leads you to not even have the money in your hands in the first place?

Kingdom_series

 Kingdom. Historic, action, thriller, zombies from Korea. I've seen the first two episodes so far and I'm really impressed! Highly recommended! Great production, costumes, photography and an interesting story.
