Der Usedom-Krimi

I've seen four episodes so far on Amazon Prime and I love it! Reminds me of Murder She Wrote but with a more melancholic score. The setting is beautiful and I enjoyed the longer nearly movie-length pacing for each self-contained mystery. On Amazon Prime they call it The Nordic Murders, but Baltic Crimes makes more sense since it takes place on an island in the Baltic Sea in Germany near the Polish border. And because each episode doesn't necessarily contain a killing ... it is a small town after all, and it wouldn't seem realistic otherwise. I love how realistic this is; not overly dramatic like American productions like to be.

...unless you can find something better. But seriously, it's decently done and somewhat interesting but a bit creaky (i.e. Cliché). Agree wholeheartedly with another reviewer, music is totally run of the mill and annoying.

I really enjoy this series,set on an island in the Baltic in the eastern part of Germany close to the Polish border. Like most TV series of this genre is is very slow burning yet it is enthralling viewing. The cast is excellent the first series starting with the release from prison of Karin Lossow and her return to her home on the.island of Usedom where her daughter Julia is a police inspector. Each episode is a stand alone story and with each episode the characters are fleshed out and we get to know more about them. The plots of the episodes are extremely good and the location filming is stunning showing the beautiful scenery of the countryside Having enjoyed the first season I was delighted to discover that the second series was available on All4,so I'm slowly streaming my way through it. The series is well worth a watch probably the best German TV series shown on Walter Presents since the Deutschland Trilogy. Roll on season 3!!!

Desperately looking for a replacement for ANNIKA I stumbled upon this series..Born in Germany to Russian/German parents with connections to Poland, I find this extremely appealing. Also, living on the Rocky Mountains for 50+ years, I thoroughly enjoy the elegic and familiar countryside of the Baltic Sea. - continuity between seasons is kind of lacking, but still an extremely worthwhile series Love it! The countryside reminds of of the book: "Before the feast"- "Vor dem Fest" by Sasha Stanisic(in German) it absolutely captures this specific and elgic countryside.(the fox) Thank you PBS Montana!

I enjoyed this series, the settings, the back story and how the family of the main character unfolds alongside a different murder each episode. The characters are engaging and played well. The storyline is a very adult one without being smutty like others which I appreciated. It is set on the German and Poland border and contains mainly German language but also some polish.
