La casa alemana

The series shows no real sense of the authoritarian spirit of the early sixties, before the public recognition of the Holocaust, not least through the Auschwitz trials in Frankfurt depicted here. As is unfortunately so often the case with historical series, the current taste in history is catered to, which unfortunately makes the characters appear historically implausible. The same goes for the chemistry of the main figure and her fiance.

A wasted opportunity.

The two film adaptations of the life of the Hessian Attorney General Fritz Bauer, on whose initiative and persistence the aforementioned Auschwitz trial took place, are much better done and should be watched instead.
