Die Brücke – Transit in den Tod (TV Serie)

Diese dänisch-schwedisch-deutsche Koproduktion war für mich eine wirkliche Überraschung. Eigentlich schon älter, vier Staffeln von 2011 bis 2018, bin ich erst in diesem Jahr auf sie gestoßen (muss an diesem merkwürdigen Jahr liegen). Offiziell steht die Zusammenarbeit zwischen dänischer und schwedischer Polizei im Zentrum, aber sie handelt doch hauptsächlich von der schwedischen Kriminalkomissarin Saga Norén. […]

Adam Rifkin – Look

Mit Echte Menschen läuft endlich mal wieder eine Serie, die intelligente Science-Fiction ohne großen Tricktechnikwirbel bietet. Alleine die Ideen dahinter sind es, die hohen Unterhaltungswert und Spannungsbögen bieten. Das zu Grunde liegende […]

Sherlock is a modernized version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes. I love that show. It is very, very close to the original stories. Elementary on the […]

Dexter

I am quite a fan of crime and drama, as can be seen of what I read. Of course, there are quite some TV shows that thrill me. One of these shows is Dexter. The unique storyline is that the main protagonist, Dexter Morgan, is a serial killer. Conveniently working as blood analyst for the […]

Sherlock – A Scandal in Belgravia

Since more than a year now I was waiting for the successor of the first three episode long season of Sherlock. Always having been a fan of the stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, this new version of the detective and his fellow Dr. Watson brings this great brain to modern ages. Well, I am […]
