Weimar was a famously hectic, louche, and creative period, and Babylon gives it a gorgeous sheen. The characters draw you in as well.

The finale was so crazy and inventive and well-executed (that Rath/Wolter shootout in particular) that I stopped questioning any of it and just went along.

Babylon Berlin is a self-conscious departure from the kind of history shows German TV cranks out by the dozens every year: Those tend to be drab, self-important, graceless and lacking in nuance.

I sort of love it, but I have no idea where it is all going. Mind you, neither did they.

It's Luhrmann-esque in scale and leaves you longing to join those heady days of swing...It's tense, engaging, and a serious marker that Germany is ready to carve its place in the television landscape.

It's all wonderfully gripping, and Bruch has the most pained, expressive eyes you'll see all year.

The scenes created in the legendary nightclub are nothing short of astonishing. Forget the empty glamour of Luhrmann's ostentatious Gatsby, this is the true grit and unabashed sexuality of the underground.

I'm certainly in - intrigued, involved - just not quite addicted. Perhaps, like Gereon's morphine, it will take more than two phials to get hooked.

Babylon Berlin tells a very good story, yet it's even better at conjuring a rich and fascinating world.

Social context aside, the show is elevated even further by truly superb acting, and a narrative flow that assumes that viewers are intelligent enough to follow a story without having to explain every single twist.
