KRANK Berlin

I have to join Mountain Duke here, I haven't seen anything comparable yet. As a true Berliner, I must say that they have succeeded in transferring the vibe of this city in almost every facet to the basic idea of emergency medical care under the most difficult conditions.

No sleep, no money, no structure, the protagonists have nothing in life except their struggle for survival for themselves and others. At night, they consume themself - at least some - what the hospital's pharmacy has to offer. The human dramas manifest on the spot between the doctors and in the desperate struggle for the lives of the protégés.

The colors, the architecture, the fast cuts, the partially inserted handheld camera, all that screams: BERLIN!

Sometimes it is also reminiscent of "Beat", an equally outstanding German series. In any case, doctors were never more real on TV, more overwhelmed and more rotten, a fascinating ride and every minute so far a lot of fun!

"As a former Berliner, I can fully relate to the rough and gritty atmosphere-the show captures the city's raw essence perfectly. I can't imagine what it must feel like to serve in that Berlin hospital during a May Day shift, but the series makes it disturbingly real. I love the characters and can't wait to see more of them after the second episode. The mind-blowing soundtrack and impeccable sound mixing, combined with a marvelous cast, create a tension rarely seen on German TV."

Hospital Filming Location is: SEZ Berlin, Landsberger Allee, Berlin, Germany

Details: "The Sports and Recreation Center (SEZ) in Berlin-Friedrichshain, a massive sports and entertainment complex from the GDR era, was used as a filming location for KRANK Berlin. Opened in 1981, the SEZ was a prestigious state-funded project, known for its striking Brutalist architecture and its role as a social hub. The series utilizes the building's raw, decayed aesthetic to enhance its gritty, urban atmosphere, making it a fitting backdrop for the show's themes." (Part's are from German Wikipedia)

I was addicted right away and watched it all!

Totally recommended, because it's shocking, exiting and interesting to watch!

It sketches the situation in ERs in a way that it makes you think about the scandalous conditions the doctors have to work in.

Even hard to believe this could be true or a reflection of the real life.

The actors are well chosen and look so tired and almost sick that you can not not sympathize or feel bad, too!

The different stories are diverse and cover many topics.

The language reminds me that Berlin is in a way another world sometimes... but it exists.

All in all: very well done KRANK Team!

This show provides the viewer with an in depth view of the harsh reality of an understaffed, drug infested Berlin hospital. The roles are played out authentic (Berlin accents are correct, people talk slang in a realistic way), the wide shots of Berlin amaze too.

The actors amaze in their way of play- a German, "staring" kind of way. I would recommend this show especially for people from Berlin, and people who always wanted to see how the German capital might look like.

The camera work is fantastic, with a variety of different shots, changes in lighting, pace and sound, this show is really worth watching (until now!)

Really appreciate the difference perspective this show bring to life. There a lot of real emotion in this show. It truly depicts some of horror about medicine and how it play out in real life. 100% worth a watch if you're a young doctor in medical school. I think the first episode might not be for everyone but if you're curious about failures in medicine but from the physician side then this show does a good job.

If you're looking for something interesting new show Will bring out a lot of conflicting surprising emotion in you, then I think this show is worth a try. Thump up Apple TV, good pick up.
