Schlafende Hunde

Yes, it starts off a bit confusing, as the plot is quite complex. That pays off afterwards thought. It's a German conspiracy thriller with good twists and you sitting on the TV trying to figure out, who is responsible. Even after a few episodes, it's hard to understand what happened. For me personally, that's what gives a good thriller the suspense. For some people it might be confusing, as you have to be awake and concentrated at times. I liked this show.

The acting is really good, especially Peri Baumeister, who acts as the wife of ex-cop Atlas and himself, Max Riemelt, do a great job here.

I'd reccomend the series to everyone, who likes Scandi-Noir-TV!

This series has so many twists and turns you think you're on a merry-go-round. What keeps it going is the wonderful acting from everyone involved. Not just the main actors, but everyone is marvelous. Given the context of the series, it's unexpected to find such good acting. Equally outstanding is the photography and the music.

Of all the good features, it's the story that compels viewing. In about 90% of the films/series I watch I can tell you the ending right away. But this one fooled me, pretty much right up to the end. Only in the last hour of the final episode did I figure it out, and that gives you some idea of how good it is.

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.

The show is quite interesting it has mysteries right fron the start, the cast put a great effort in making this characters unique from one another, throughout the series you gonna ask yourself who is really the one that doing this that, upon watching the series in continuation answers from the mysteries will unveil, but there is some unpredictable scenes that really shocked me, and its really great for this kind of series. It is shorter than expected and i wish they extended the episodes so we can hear the stories beyond the main cast.

Still, overall the show is great max riemelt and the other cast really put their effort throughout this series and we appreciated it.

Wish it will become available in more countries c'mon netflix..

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.
