Berlino: codice rosso

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 went into this show with low expectations, but after watching the first two episodes, I was completely blown away! The acting is top-notch-every character feels real, and the performances are incredibly engaging. The visual style is stunning, with cinematography that perfectly complements the tone of the show. It's clear that a lot of thought went into the aesthetics, from the color grading to the set design, making every scene feel immersive.

The script is another highlight-it's smart, well-paced, and filled with moments that keep you hooked. The dialogue feels natural, and the way the characters interact adds depth to the story. It's rare that I feel compelled to write a review, but this show impressed me so much that I had to share my thoughts. The way it builds tension and delivers surprises makes it incredibly addictive.

Overall, this is a fantastic start, and I can't wait to see more. If the first two episodes are any indication of what's to come, this series has the potential to be something truly special! Highly recommended.

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!

What an exiting experience - the final farewell to Germanys questionable history of medical drama series

Stylish, cool and slightly heroin-chic - krank here we come. An updated general hospital in the German metropolis, only at the first glance. This remarkable formate ruthlessly exposes the daily craziness in Berlin's hospitals, run down by years of cost-cutting exercises and poor economic decisions by irresponsible politicians. It is quite a long way from the medical idealism of the oath of Hippocrates to the banal reality of hospital operations, which you cannot get through unscathed as a doctor or even as a nurse.

Krank takes us on that journey.

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!)
