Sankt Maik

Loved it Funny Miracles Lifechanging for those who believe nomatter who you were in the past, if you come to the good path and do good for others good things will happen to you:)

This clever, irreverent series is about a lifelong thief named Maik who suddenly finds himself having to pose as a priest to evade getting caught. The storyline reveals the duality of his humanity; his good-hearted soul hidden behind his dishonest ways. He ends up helping others along his journey while also engaging in some romance with the policewoman who is chasing him. Binge worthy, funny, well written/produced series, sexy AND It has an excellent soundtrack as well! I am loving it!! German with English subtitles.

While the premise is lacking in originality (think Grantchester meets Sneaky Pete meets Ballykissangel), Daniel Donskoy is so wildly charismatic that it's absolutely worth it. Can't wait until the next seasons are released in the US.

The first episode is entertaining, but then with each following episode the story becomes more and more predictable and the scenario is childish. Still enjoyable in small doses. (season 1)

Daniel Donskoy is amazing and charismatic as a young hip and intelligent low-level thief who needs to hide out and is thus unexpectedly forced to assume the identity of a priest in a German village. But as things turn out, he discovers he likes helping people and becomes fond of the community and being part of it.

The supporting characters and cast are terrific, the storylines and situations are fresh and intriguing and the German village landscape is lovely.

Also worth noting - the English subtitles are well done, reflecting where appropriate the formality of German and German culture. Too often English language subtitles improperly and inaccurately are done as casual American speech.
