Tiger King (2020)


An exploration of big cat breeding and its bizarre underworld, populated by eccentric characters.

Basically, this is an exploitative Reality TV-style documentary series, which is hardly interested in the animal rights' angle of the story and rather takes a voyeuristic pleasure in presenting its wildly eccentric (and dangerous) characters; however, that's the point holding one's attention throughout, and somehow you're constantly reminded of the current resident in the White House.

Systemsprenger (2019)


On her wild quest for love, 9-year-old Benni's untamed energy drives everyone around her to despair.

Relentlessly realistic and precise analysis od a so-called "system crasher", an unmanageable and violent child leaving all attempts to civilize her futile; at times almost unbearable to watch, also due to Helena Zengel's utterly convincing performance.

The Fall, Season 3 (2016)


Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson has arrested Paul Spector - but will he survive the gunshot wounds? Will he ever face justice?

The third season concludes the series in likewise excellent quality in atmosphere, production and performances and simply goes a bit more into depth on its characters; however, the actual ending is unexpected and rather illogical to what we have learnt so far.
