4 Blocks

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.

So much to like about this show. The characters are flawed, but honest. I live in the states, so I don't know how realistic this show is, but it really takes you into these neighborhoods in Germany and gives you a feel of what life is like there. The gangster theme is pretty cool and as a Muslim it's also interesting to hear Asalamalaikum and Alhamdulillah so many times in a show about gangsters. Anyway, great show, super gritty and tough but very entertaining. I recommend watching in German with the English sub-titles, the language is so cool too and of course the music is some really cool German hip hop.

Not the greatest thing I've ever seen, but I enjoyed it. Well produced. Got into the story after a few episodes and found the characters worth watching, especially Toni. The Actor who played the Mob Boss wanting a better life for his family put in a very good and likable performance

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.

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.
