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.
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.
My First German series and it didn't disappoint. I loved Tom Schilling's acting. He is perfect for the role. Absolutely entertained me and kept me coming for more. The Mindfulness lessons by the doctor (Who is also cast perfectly) worked well for me too Haha :D
Can't wait for S2 ! Kudos to the team. They've gone above and beyond with the camera work and I loved watching every frame. Emily was too cute. The whole plot combining Murder and Mindfulness, was not only bringing two extreme poles to work together, but also was fresh and engaging to watch. It goes to show that even Murder when committed with Mindfulness still works ;) Not planning to do any, but it instilled a quaint picture in my head of how being mindful in intense situations can look and feel like and that's a great takeaway from this series..

Murder Mindfully (German Language): Achtsam Morden. Netflix 2024
Unassuming Lawyer Bjorn, struggle with pressure, failing marriage, not seeing his daughter enough, guilt over representing local gangland boss etc.
What does he do to resolve this problems he seeks spiritual guidance.
After attending a course of "mindfulness" his life turns around for the better, with added complications,
If you consider Break Bad as the premise these types of programmes you'll get the idea.
It is thoroughly entertaining and very watchable and worth 4 hours of anyone times (8x1/2 episodes)
The only spoiler I will give, I think the maker have left it open to enable a second series, which it does warrant.

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.
