Les Meurtres zen

Oof. I really enjoyed this series but there are so many plot conveniences that become harder and harder to ignore as the series progresses. Smart people become stupid when it's convenient, dumb people become smart when it's convenient, you'll be watching the show going "oh this is clever how they set this up how are they going to sort this out" then the writing just half asses the hell out of it... It's kind of funny really.

I'm in Canada watching the English dub and at first I thought maybe something was getting lost in translation but it became pretty obvious that was not the case towards the end.

Honestly I really enjoyed the show, more than a lot of other shows I've watched recently. It IS entertaining but if you watch it you'll see exactly what I mean.

After a long time I watched a really good and well made series I can't wait for season 2 already, Each episode pulls you deeper into the plot, keeping you hooked with unexpected twists and emotional depth. The acting, direction and screenplay are mind blowing it just gets better and better. Hope it gets renewed for season 2. I think the main lead and all the actors have done a fabulous job and it is very mature and modern. Also the series does not play around and is not afraid to put characters in the most difficult position they can deal with is jst amazing to see unlike other shows where they favour their main lead. It's undoubtedly one of the best shows in recent memory.

If you are a Fan of Black comedy or mystery Crime Shows this is for you after "Dark" we have finally got another high quality TV series it feels kinda like Breaking Bad but alot faster story progress without the Drama and more Black Comedy the tension is all the time there and the Methodic of "Achtsamkeit" is brilliant involved into the Show it is very well made. The casting is great Tom Schilling one of the best actors Germany has plays this Role perfectly from Caring family man to his other side also his crime Partner plays pretty good. This show is Based of a novel you can Tell its very well made into a TV Show. Its one of those Shows you cant get enough off because it is so good. A total suprise never heard much of it only after the Release. Hopefully we see more of this Show it has alot of Potential.

Unexpectedly, I enjoyed this series a lot.

Excellent acting, script, directing, production value. There were some pretty big plot holes, however, but they could be overlooked for the overall engrossing story.

I love that the conceit of the series uses the popularity of mindful meditation in Germany, with many people practicing it during commutes and at work.

The Netflix series is based on a series of novel - and both share the same name - that has a different protagonist and a completely different plot.

In the TV series the main character is a lawyer involved in murders. In the novels the main character is a mindfulness coach solving murders.

Which is better? I don't know, because I have never read the novels. But I do like the TV series.

I recommend watching this in German with subtitles.

The series is very entertaining and diverting. The original book is also about a lawyer, so @keikoyoshikawa seems to have got something mixed up in his review. The lawyer learns how to deal with certain situations from his mindfulness coach. The series is very closely modelled on the book. Only some of the supporting characters are different. I really enjoyed 'Mindful Murder'. It is a fast-paced production. There is not only this series, but also a corresponding theatre play, which I have already seen. The series and the play have the same structure. I'm already looking forward to the second season.
