El pasado no duerme

The main character and some of the other characters were great. Their acting was good and their storyline was alright.

But sadly Jule and Tom totally ruined the series. They were bland and their acting was off. Their storyline was also really bad, totally unnecessary, nothing happened really.

Honestly didn't even understand if you were actually supposed to like them through the whole series. They were totally unlikeable, it doesn't match up at all since all the other characters somehow had something that was worth watching.

Ended up skipping several scenes with them simply because they were too boring. :(

The end of the series was sadly not good in my opinion.

It's sad since the rest of the series was alright, really wish the series would've focused more on the main characters, his story and the people that were close to him.

PS. Tom and Jule looked like siblings which also made it weird.

It's a slow burn but it doesn't get boring. The story of Mike Atlas is engaging made more complicated because he has a wife and daughter who're clueless about what's happening to him, and who are just about to give up on him.

The viewer, like Mike, is bent on pursuing the leads that would jog his memory to remember his past and uncover his mistake.

It's a typical German production quite competent in its execution. The cinematography is great; the script is tight, well-written. The characters come alive with their own backstories.

The actors do justice to the roles they are assigned to give life to. Special mention to Max Riemelt, Melika Foroutan and Carlo Ljubek.

Schlafende Hunde is a very well made German crime drama about a traumatized former police officer in search for what has caused his trauma. His story unfolds after the suicide of an innocent prisoner, for who's conviction he was largely responsible.

The story is original and told very well in six episodes. Every episode reveals a little more of the final plot. Build-up, scenario acting and dialogues are just fine. This series shows an intelligent combination of psychological drama, conspiracy and an atmosphere in which there's hardly any clarity as to who can be trusted.

A bit of a slow burner but just right. Definitely recommended.

In english, it's sleeping dog, but in german, it's schlafende hunde. A six episode arc, with two directors and three writers. According to imdb, this is a remake of the israeli series exchange principle, which had three chapters. Atlas, a former cop, is living on the streets. But has not given up trying to solve an old cold case. He breaks into offices after hours, and tries to stay under the radar. Andergast, the public prosecutor, also wants to reopen the case, but for very different reasons. Lots of mysteries and questions. Witnesses that won't come forward, for various reasons. Some are getting knocked off. They seem to be up against powerful families that stick together, and will do anything to succeed. Both atlas and andergast have people helping them and people working against them. Lots of suspense and drama. Mostly good stuff! Although one of the cops held up evidence, a hand gun, while wearing gloves. But he held the gun right where the suspect's fingerprints would be !! Bad cop.

... it's really good, definitely with that European-pulse... it goes at a steadily-fueled-pace... all actors filling their characters-parts exceptionally-well... you can watch it once again, even shortly after first-viewing, and it readily holds interest

... there are numerous Euro-crime-dramas with differences in the genre distinctly flavored by all the large number of varying countries producing their own individualized works.. and they have risen all together, each producing hi-quality streaming-experiences... regardless of requiring subtitles, as they to have become better-experiences... could-shoulda-been a good-couple-several season-series.
