About the series
The eight-part crime drama is set in Breslau in 1936 and follows Commissioner Franz Podolsky as he investigates a brutal murder. With the Olympic Games approaching, the pressure to solve the case is immense. What begins as a single double homicide soon expands into further killings – heightening fear across the city and tightening the pressure on Podolsky as he chases the truth through propaganda, state interference and the dark underlayers of the city.
