4 Blocks

I have been trying to get into german tv shows for quite some time but to be honest, besides "Dark" and "Bad Banks" nothing else made me wanting more or write about it. "4 Blocks" is one of those rare german shows that stands out even in international standards. Highly addictive and bingeworthy, this show has everything, from thrilling twist and turns, emotional, at times even heart breaking moments, violent eruptions and intense action scenes. Stellar performances, especially by lead actor Kida Kodr Ramadan. If you like crime shows mixed with emotional family-themed elements, check this show out.

I enjoyed every 19 episodes of three season. Plot is very good, nice recording, good theme music also produced. Every character gave contribution, especially liked Tony and Kemal. Learned something new about muslims and Islam religion, how their families stick together in thick and thin, about theis love for close ones. Honour is sacred - one of the key points of the series!!! For me the best crime, gangsta drama series that I watched without any flaws!!

• If this was USA production for sure we would have minimum 3 more seasons but isnt and this was right scope and good tale of Hammady family!!

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.

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.

I watched the first two seasons on Amazon Prime. Superb!

A Lebanese crime family (Hamady's) running its business in Four Blocks in Berlin, Germany. Along with the cops other crime gangs - even other Lebanese crime families - are after them and their revenue.

Meanwhile, there are differences within family members about how to manage the business. Some are aggressive and prone to violence others more calm and calculating. As if this weren't enough, the wives and family members exert influence on their husbands too.

Despite what may sound like a messy plot it's anything but ... The story flows as smooth as a fine wine. The violence is measured. The characters real. The acting top class.

This is no ordinary crime series. It's more than a cut above the rest.
