Criminal: Germany
2019 · Miniseries · TV-MA · 45 min · ★ 6.9
Set almost entirely around police questioning, this miniseries follows detectives as they push suspects for answers in a series of tense, talk-heavy cases. The drama comes from pressure, emotion, and the battle of wills inside the interview room rather than action.
