Die Toten von Marnow

The story was captivating from beginning to end.

German crime series are very different from US productions. Characters are more real, the story line is less contrived than US shows (yet still not wholly realistic) - but this is escapist TV.

The acting is good, the scenery beautiful, the cinematography excellent.

Overall, a highly recommend several hours of excellent entertainment.

The show should have you hooked after the first episode, otherwise it is not for you.

Note: I watched the original German so I cannot comment about dubbing nor translations/subtitles which I sadly have seen to often be terrible.

This drama was incredibly good. I was a little confused about what was happening in the first episode, but from then on the pace picked up and the plot went like a rocket to superlative. Huge surprises along the way. Charismatic main characters, superb acting. The interactions between Lona and Elling, and between Elling and Susanne, were totally believable. I was engrossed in the story and was swept along through to the end.

Sorry they don't seem to be doing another in this series - everything about it, right down to the hot summer days in some of Germany's most beautiful scenery, was perfect.

Thanks for this wonderful series.

I'm all for the character-driven crime series from Scandanavia, but Germany delivers some of the best, more nuanced series in the genre. Marnow Murders (as titled/viewed in the US) has great, movie-quality characters, beautiful filmaking, quirky storyline and...two central figures that draw you into their individual worlds. Exceptional "tv."

Watched all 8 episodes on a rainy weekend. As others have wrote here before, great actors, great scenery and excellent camera work.

In addition, a story that's almost as captivates as a Hitchcock, from the first to the last moment and deals with recent German history.

The course of the story, although with many participants, is still easy to follow. The background story of the two investigators is also perfectly integrated. How everything ultimately comes together is in the end an excellent small thriller series, in what is otherwise often quite the same German crime entertainment.

There is not a moment of boredom.

Wow, these series from Germany really rocked. Nice locations with an intriguing serial murder story hold me electrified.

The actors did a very good job, so all the staff and the director. The eight episodes are well packed with mystery, suspense and action. The running time is perfect and I wanted never stop watching.

I mean it offers high value of entertainment with fast paced scenes and I was never bored.

I hope there will be other episodes with this crew in future. Would be really interesting if there are other mysterious cases to solve. As I mentioned The main actors delivered a top performance and I liked them very much.

Check it out. 7/10.
