Console best movie i've ever seen.
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
jimboalistair Stylish, suspenseful and dangerously addictive. At its height, Babylon Berlin is one of the best foreign language TV shows out there. It is well acted and mostly well written but does lose itself at times in the many interweaving plot lines and can at times leave you with a bad taste in your mouth with its sometimes sloppy writing but nevertheless, Babylon Berlin is a must watch for any fan of historical dramas.
wotsonurmind This is undoubtedly one of the best TV you'll come across. The story,acting,characters,music,gorgeous cinematography,editing,etc is beyond most things ever seen on TV. Clearly a lot of reviewers agree and I won't waste time on that. My only grouse is the direction of the finale of the second season.It is very good but completely out of tune with a superb second season.The editing is odd,the sketches include some scenes which stretch your belief, when the best part of Babylon was that most of the story looks and feels believable and hence very involving. No one who likes Transformers is watching this and the need to make characters magically appear somewhere with no logic was not needed. But congratulations and thank you for providing an outstanding TV series.
kyraxanadu Other reviewers have already said some of the same things I was going to say. You have to watch it in its original German with subtitles if you don't speak the language. I looked at the dubbed English version afterwards and it was terrible. Made me laugh. The production value is so perfect. The acting, scenery and story just great. I think another user (Orwell Huxley) accidentally gave it a 1 when it should have been a 10, after reading the review. A definite watch! The last 10 minutes of episode 2 sold it for me.
sfnorton-61601 I am a big fan of the books upon which this series is based, and I can tell that the production and acting is of superior quality. Unfortunately, the series is rendered unwatchable in the U.S. by the detestable voice-over. In fact it made an absolute mockery of the show, like some sort of Saturday Night Live sketch, but not even a good sketch. There really should be a subtitle version available as an alternative. Perhaps there is, but not that I could find.
