Krank: Berlin

I have to join Mountain Duke here, I haven't seen anything comparable yet. As a true Berliner, I must say that they have succeeded in transferring the vibe of this city in almost every facet to the basic idea of emergency medical care under the most difficult conditions.

No sleep, no money, no structure, the protagonists have nothing in life except their struggle for survival for themselves and others. At night, they consume themself - at least some - what the hospital's pharmacy has to offer. The human dramas manifest on the spot between the doctors and in the desperate struggle for the lives of the protégés.

The colors, the architecture, the fast cuts, the partially inserted handheld camera, all that screams: BERLIN!

Sometimes it is also reminiscent of "Beat", an equally outstanding German series. In any case, doctors were never more real on TV, more overwhelmed and more rotten, a fascinating ride and every minute so far a lot of fun!

I was addicted right away and watched it all!

Totally recommended, because it's shocking, exiting and interesting to watch!

It sketches the situation in ERs in a way that it makes you think about the scandalous conditions the doctors have to work in.

Even hard to believe this could be true or a reflection of the real life.

The actors are well chosen and look so tired and almost sick that you can not not sympathize or feel bad, too!

The different stories are diverse and cover many topics.

The language reminds me that Berlin is in a way another world sometimes... but it exists.

All in all: very well done KRANK Team!

This show is scary, heartfelt, caring and intense at the same time, coming from watching few medical dramas lately and Pitt being on top, Berlin Er overshadows all of them.

I had to check how close this is to reality and it does pain to know that while there are creative means to amplify the desperation, unfortunately these are times we are leaving in.

Berlin is one of the characters along the hospital staff and you feel the sadness.

Plot and writing, i watched dubbed, is very satisfying, i thought the fire episode was a bit an overkill but im buying it. It's not full of medical jargon and the case mysteries to solve but gives a subtle and yet real row sense of ER flow.

Acting is what it makes this spacial and gives a relief to the intense background, diversity of the cast and chemistry is outstanding, i couldn't get enough of them, i want to know all their stories, hope apple will get the second season and promotes for wider audience.

This show provides the viewer with an in depth view of the harsh reality of an understaffed, drug infested Berlin hospital. The roles are played out authentic (Berlin accents are correct, people talk slang in a realistic way), the wide shots of Berlin amaze too.

The actors amaze in their way of play- a German, "staring" kind of way. I would recommend this show especially for people from Berlin, and people who always wanted to see how the German capital might look like.

The camera work is fantastic, with a variety of different shots, changes in lighting, pace and sound, this show is really worth watching (until now!)

It would be a shame for people to pass up this very well produced well acted emergency room drama. It's often hard to watch because it's a challenge to watch humanity at its sickest. Whether treating patients or struggling with daily lives, healthcare professionals, deal with many comorbidities themselves.

The lead actress is worthy of note, as is the supporting cast. The show is gripping and extremely nuanced. I certainly hope it will be renewed, and that IMDb ratings will push up into the mid 7.5 range. It deserves it.

I'm not exactly sure how they are so aptly able to create the tense environment that can be a gritty, overrun, urban hospital, in a city with an underside that many simply can't relate to. But Berlin certainly seems like a city with many inner demons, screaming for a resolution.

I wouldn't skip this series if you are looking for something engaging. I always am and this has met my requirements.
