Criminal : Allemagne

The Germans have once again shown their prowess, delivering precise work in every aspect and leading slightly in the mini-battle with Great Britain. Sylvester Groth was especially strong in the investigative role; I have to admit, he is an exceptionally talented actor. The cases were diverse, not only in what happened but also in the interestingly presented dialogues of the investigators behind the scenes, and the various interrogation styles were also quite compelling. The ending was pretty intense, if I understood it correctly. I’m giving it 82%. (29/09/2019)

As a whole (i.e. three episodes), this is the best of the whole European quartet. Like the others, the dialogue is very well written and cast is a great fit. The series toys with the connecting format, but the highlight by far is the way it handles the overall course of the interrogations, twists and “overlapping sauce" around them, whether that involves the social aspect or that in front of/behind the mirror.
