Der Bestatter

This show is fantastic - I also watched most episodes very quickly and now I cant wait for season 3. Love the characters, wit, Luc's eye rolls and facial expressions... the subtitles don't faze me one bit. Keep this great show coming.....love it. I was mesmerized from the first episode. The story lines are great and well written, and the characters really compliment one another. The only comment I would make is that they all touch dead bodies and no one seems to wear gloves or wash their hands. I know its only a show but to me its a bit gross. Luc is a great actor and acts our his part in the show extremely well. Fabio, Anna-Maria and Erika are all great as well. I truly hope the series continues for a few more years.

If you are looking for something different with plot and characters that keep you hooked look no further.If you enjoyed Wallander you will enjoy this series.

After working through all 4 series over Xmas i am still left wanting more. Most episodes are stand alone who & how dunnits as Luc Conrad undertaker, unable to ignore his well honed instincts after many years working as a detective, picks up murder victims the local police have, and sometimes haven't, missed.

The world of undertaking knows no boundaries. We follow Luc as he and his unlikely employee Fabio, collect bodies from almost every conceivable venue.

The acting, camera work and carefully chosen background music help build suspense and drama.

Great sub plots running throughout and well developed characters.

Despite the dark subject, and sometimes heavy plot line, gentle humour lightens the load. To top it all the series provides an insight into the world of undertaking and gives space to reflect on life and death.

This just popped up on Netflix and I was desperate for something new and different so I gave it a look and so glad I did. I have only watched a few episodes so far but they are great. It's a little formulaic but that doesn't detract from the enjoyment. Great mysteries, wonderful characters, unpredictable, love the quirky intern LOL his hair when he first showed up was hilarious. Really good solid whodunnit mystery series with a little dark humour and absurdity thrown in for good measure. Love the conflicting and complex relationship between the main character and his ex- peers from the police too. Great binge watching material as long as you're not a big baby about reading subtitles.

I love this show! It's exciting, has good acting, and the conversations are very funny! Give it a go, if you like crime series with a good touch of comedy. Hope this doesn't get cancelled too early, as the episodes are still witty and fresh.

There are many shows from Europe that are very cheesy and frankly, boring to watch. Why? Because they recycle, like Hollywood, the same tired tropes. This show is in that genre of recycled tropes but they make it fun. The characters and the actors are engaging. There is clearly a chemistry between them all. Could somethings have been better? Sure. But, it was fun to watch.
