Review of Bad Banks

Bad Banks (2018–2020)
7/10
Good for German TV, but otherwise mediocre
9 October 2019
Watched the series after it was recommended to me. Bad Banks has got me at first by having an otherwise seldom setting in the world of high finance. Even if it kept being interesting till the last Episode the tension wasn't as high as possible and appropriate. I often had the feeling of artificial dialogues, as you fell so often as a native speaker in German productions. Also the story falls sometimes short of logical behavior of the characters but was overall entertaining. Some characters, especially Luke and Fenger were well acted, while I wasn't such a big fan of Jana for being to hysterical and fulfilling all cliches you can have of successful business woman. All in all Bad Banks is good for a short and quite entertaining series and in comparison to the typically less ambitious and uninspiring German series, it's a bright spot.
