BABYLON BERLIN featured in "The New York Times" &"The Wall Street Journal" as Best TV Show
The Wall Street Journal highlights: “It was a year of standout performances that elevated the series they were in, notably Liv Lisa Fries and Volker Bruch in ’Babylon Berlin,’ which has the sexiness and historical sweep all such period series should have”, while The New York Times praises the fourth season ”of this period police drama as jazzy and addictively entertaining as its devoted fans have to come to expect, anchored by Fries’s tough, soulful performance as Ritter, the prostitute-turned-detective trying to keep it together in a society that is rapidly falling apart.”
Directed/written by Tom Tykwer, Achim von Borries, and Henk Handloegten, and starring Liv Lisa Fries and Volker Bruch, all season of the “phenomenal Babylon Berlin” (WSJ) are available on MHz Choice for its American and Canadian fans. The series delivers an atmospheric portrayal of Berlin, a hotbed of crime and politics, sex and drugs, emancipation and extremism, where Inspector Gereon Rath and his partner Charlotte investigate during the roaring 1920’s. Setting a new standard for storytelling made in Europe, the multi-awarded international hit series has been sold worldwide to 140 territories.
Praised by international media as "fabulous and stunning" (The Guardian), "dark, flashy, and addictive" (NPR), and "the most bingeable new drama since 'The Crown'"(Vogue), Babylon Berlin has collected numerous awards, among them the inaugural European Achievement in Fiction Series Award at the European Film Awards, multiple German Television Awards, the Grand Prize at the Seoul International Drama Awards, the Austrian Television Award ROMY as "TV Event of the Year", the Premios Ondas in Spain, as well as the Magnolia Award of the Shanghai TV Festival, the most important TV festival in Asia, and many more.
