4 Blocks

This is absolutely breathtaking. The series is very well produced, the acting is superb and the snapshots of Berlins area - Kreuzkölln (Kreuzberg and Neukölln give a good insight of the area. The series is quite brutal. The acting is honest and quite realistic. Opposite most other German TV productions the actors do not overact and this gives the whole story a down to earth appearance. What I like about 4Blocks is that you are seduced to believe the actions of the characters are plausible. If you like stories about crime, drugs and thug life do yourself a favor and don't miss out on this one.

I was a little bit disappointed after I realized that it is a German series. But I was wrong. It's one of very few German productions, which is really well done. The characters are authentic, a lot of (but not to much) action and a well-conceived plot. I really enjoyed the show and can fully recommend it.

This series is a great adding to series like Gomorrah, Suburra or Narcos. First, even it is made in Germany it's pretty well done. It does not look cheap. The settings and characters are credible, interesting and pretty realistic. Second, the storyline is interesting. The more you watch the more interesting it gets. Last, acting is pretty good. Main characters have personality and they are pretty well developed. To sum up, if you want to try something different and you love series like Gomorrah, Suburra or Zero, Zero, Zero, this one is for you. Enjoy.

Best series I have seen in a long time.

Must watch in the original German with subtitles or you will miss the intensity. Horrible voice overs in English.

Clearly a series that matures over time. From season to season the story is very exciting. We ended up joining the Hamady family.
