>If you like crime series and thrillers i recommend everything with Götz George. Tatort Schimanski etc. are classic, His thriller movies are also really good.I remember Schimanski! They aired it in the early 2000w and I remember the main character being quite a maverick. Iirc, there was, at least in a few episodes, a theme of social unrest in a few storylines. Unfortunately it was on a shitty network that went through a lot of fuckery, so I think that they didn't renewed the rights and it's not been shown here for at least a decade and a half.
Also, usually Tatort is not broadcast as such, but every city is presented as if it's a series on its on - "Special Squad Stuttgart", "Special Squad Hamburg" and so on. So I don't know if many Krimi they broadcast are they own thing or part of the Tatort series. Recently there was a series with a young woman playing an Austrian cop and another guy being a German one and basically the plot where about shit happening across the border. I don't remember the title, but it was on a couple of years ago.
Then there was Derrick, and it was so popular here that Fritz Wepper got various parts in films and tv series here both while he was playing Harry and after the old Derrick finally retired
actually he got a job with Europol or something and an assassination attempt against him was foiled in the last episode. The day Horst Tappert died, they even broadcasted some random episode after prime time and during breaks there was a sign saying "Goodbye, Derrick!". Though I heard that after Tappert was posthumously outed as an SS, the public broadcaster there like cancelled everything with him in, so I guess they don't even licence Derrick abroad anymore.
My favourite tho is Ein Fall für Zwei. I read there is a reboot with two new actors and apparently is being going for a few years, but it's not being shown here. Old episodes from the nineties are still shown here randomly, sometimes early in the morning, sometimes during summer afternoons.
I've heard about Das Boot, actually I found out about it because the author of the soundtrack is the same from Ein Fall für Zwei! I've been curious about it, but I haven't had the chance to watch it.
I remember watching a film a couple of years ago about a real event, it was a bank robbery and the subsequent take of hostages that went on for days and there was this fucking bus driving to the border with the Netherlands. The film is quite recent, but the thing happened in the 80s I think. Interestingly, I catched it on the BBC through some dodgy site. I specify that because having lived in England a few years, I remember I've never watched any German production there: in fact, they never broadcast anything from Germany. On the contrary, I remember that France 2, that was available here until the switchoff to DTV in the late 2000s, usually had Derrick and Ein Fall für Zwei on - obviously dubbed in French, lol!
