Babylon Berlin streaming on Netflix is getting 5 star reviews which is well deserved. It is a German production that is dubbed over in English which works well enough. Story is fantastic. You'll learn a lot about the Weimar Republic if you look things up, and you'll learn that the Nazis didn't just pop-out-of-nowhere but were the result of, not just chaos but desires but happens when other plotters plan to overthrow the new republic and return the Kaiser to power. This alone with the communist unrest mixed in.

The 16-part German period drama Babylon Berlin, which starts streaming on Netflix today, is lavish, epic, dizzyingly complex, and (through the four episodes sent to me early) as satisfying as anything I’ve seen in months....
It’s also similarly expensive. One of the immediate pleasures of this sprawling crime story set in 1929 Weimar Republic Berlin—which is full of unknown-to-me, hugely talented German actors and has as thickly braided a plot as a Tolstoy novel—is the millions thrown at the screen (it’s reportedly the most expensive German-language show ever made).
