The best thing I have seen on TV this year. So many stories intertwined in an amazing visual spectacle.I hope they continue this series, although it will be a hard act to follow...

The program is everything everyone is saying... but watch it in the original German only. The English soundtrack is absolutely horrendous. It is truely so bad that it completely alters the rating for this brilliant piece of television. It sounds like a bunch of drama students took a bunch of downers and sat around a table to read the script. There is no emotion, commitment or ownership of the characters. And what characters there are! Babylon Berlin is an intriguing world beautifully filmed, scripted and acted. If, like me you started watching in English and thought it was pox... do yourself a favour, watch in German and experience Babylon Berlin as it was envisioned.

There were times early on when I was struggling to keep track of what was going on but, overall, this is one of the most intriguing and satisfying series I've ever seen on Netflix. Or anywhere else, for that matter!

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.
