It's a wonderful look into the years in between WWI and WWII- which I don't think is discussed enough. It shows the struggle of the democracy trying to take hold under the Weimar Republik. It's got political intrigue, crime, history, jazz, and attractive characters. It's a show that's delightfully interesting, but is not afraid to cause much anguish through every plot twist. Schau es auk Deutsch oder watch it in English- it's terrific.
