      Matt Zoller Seitz New York Magazine/Vulture It's safe to say that you can be a tourist in this series, though it may not be strictly necessary to visit all four of Criminal's countries to get a sense of its world. Sep 20, 2019 Full Review Jacob Oller Paste Magazine A tactical disconnect hamstrings a competent cast and makes each case's resolution feel as transparent as the right side of the one-way glass. Rated: 4.5/10 Sep 21, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

      inta k interesting format for the series. liking it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Criminal (Germany) has some interesting stories. It's first episode, in particular, has a clever turnaround. Yet, overall, it lacks character development or the kind of depth one would expect from a one room drama. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member El valor de la palabra /////////////////// La serie Criminal parte de interesantes premisas formales: bloques de tres capítulos unitarios (formato casi en extinción salvo en las sitcoms), uno por país (Alemania, España, Francia y Reino Unido). Todos se sitúan en el mismo escenario: la sala de interrogatorios, la cabina tras el vidrio de la cámara Gesell y un pasillo/vestíbulo. Y todos transcurren en tiempo real. En la foto vemos a los dos protagonistas de Criminal Alemania (aún no vi los otros nueve episodios), que buscan resolver aspectos de un caso en cada uno de los tres capítulos. Él es el temperamental inspector Schulz (Sylvester Groth) y ella la fría inspectora Keller (una notable Eva Meckbach), quien además cumple funciones de auditoría en esa comisaría. Los casos tienen que ver con asesinatos de larga data o con violencia doméstica, cobrando protagonismo la problemática entre las dos Alemanias, las diferencias de clase o los alemanes de origen extranjero, por ejemplo. El director de los tres capítulos es nada menos que Oliver Hirschbiegel, quien dirigiera La caída, destacándose entre los interrogados la gran Nina Hoss (actriz fetiche de varias películas de Christian Petzold) y Peter Kurth. En suma, un policial puramente procedimental, de impronta teatral (aunque no se siente) con una concisión que se agradece frente a tantos ejemplos de series con arcos narrativos que se estiran o complican innecesariamente. miniseries netflix policial series series alemanas Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
