Sinopsis(1)
Berlín, 1929. La capital alemana se sitúa como la gran metrópolis de la expresión y la libertad. La ciudad más moderna y viva de Europa es un hervidero de gente de toda condición política y clase social: en sus calles se mezclan comunistas, anarquistas, nazis, mafias e inmigrantes rusos, y en cada rincón proliferan artistas, bohemios, prostitutas, homosexuales, músicos, bailarinas de cabaret y travestidos. Pero tras su aparente clima de libertad y cambio, Berlín es una silenciosa olla a presión a punto de estallar. En mitad de esta tensa calma se encuentra Gereon Rath, un detective de la policía de Colonia que acaba de incorporarse a la unidad antivicio de Berlín, localizada en el monumental cuartel general de la policía, para investigar el caso de una red de cine pornográfico relacionado con la mafia rusa. En sus investigaciones Gereon conoce a Charlotte, una joven con la que empieza una relación clandestina y que busca mejorar las miserables condiciones de vida de su familia. (Divisa Home Video)

Babylon Berlin (2017)
The series could easily have turned into an ordinary crime drama set in 1929 Berlin, but it wouldn't have featured the famous Tykwer-Klimek duo. I do not mean to question the merits of other creators, but few could have so gracefully presented the political situation of the Weimar Republic, guided the nightlife of Berlin's bohemians with spectacular musical numbers, and solved over a dozen conspiracies from monarchists to communists. And with a period soundtrack that proves that even music in the spirit of the 1920s can be "cool", it's really easy. If it weren't for the somewhat rushed finale, it would have been flawless, as the main story is wrapped up with several excellent twists and turns, but the subplots of the secondary characters are a bit too contrived for that. Otherwise, great.

Season 4 (2022) (S04)
With the thirties comes the best of what Babylon Berlin has brought us so far. Several scenes are truly memorable thanks to excellent editing. The creators weren't afraid to stretch the plot again, so it gets to the Nazis, gangsters, Jews, Jewish gangsters, journalists, communists, and malnourished kids from the Zoo station, and everything more or less builds to a conclusion where no threads remain unresolved. Tykwer and co. made a great job of this script during covid.
