Berlin Noir, based on Philip Kerr's novel Metropolis, follows Bernie Gunther's early career as he rises through the ranks of the Berlin Murder Squad. The story is set against the backdrop of Weimar-era Berlin, a city marked by both unprecedented freedom and growing political instability. As Gunther investigates these seemingly random killings, he confronts a society on the cusp of radical change, with the shadow of the Nazi party growing ever larger. The series explores themes of truth, justice, and survival in a city teetering on the edge of chaos, as Bernie navigates a world where the rules are constantly shifting and the line between right and wrong blurs.
