SOKO Potsdam

Lmao, boy did they ever get the subtitles wrong for baez' song used as intro, dicie? Stoneman? Lol. Maybe they should run this stuff past a muttersprachler.

This series is fast moving and about a pair of female detectives, friends, who solve crimes in Potsdam. There is good chemistry between the actors and that makes the characters quite believable. The stories are contemporary, but the speed at which the crimes are solved and how quickly the evidence suddenly appears, is not very believable. It's more like a detective sitcom rather than a serious procedural drama. If viewed in that light, and not over-analyzed, it provides average entertainment value. It is somewhat reminiscent of "Cagney& Lacey" with Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless, the same type of banter between the two characters and rapid fire banter. It's your old time female "buddy cop" sitcom, nothing more than that!

Moves fast. Likable characters. Not too deep, but still a good detective series.

I have watched the first two seasons of this TV-detective series. Potsdam is nice place for filming such TV crime series like SOKO Potsdam.

The plots of the episodes varies a lot, the stories are basically interesting almost in every episode. What I like is the dialogue between the detectives. They bring some freshness to traditional male-leaded TV-shows in crime scene.

Unlike other German TV-detectives, there is not so much showing when the actors are driving their cars. And the cars are not too fancy. Old Fiat Punto is just charming!

Maybe there is too much personal things of detectives included in the episodes.

Poor acting and poor direction. Hard to believe that German cars are great and this is a sub-par production. Amazing it went longer than one season. One of the reviewers mention that " it's not very deep". An understatement for sure.
