Good german thrillers are rare. This is one of them. I enjoyed watching those six episodes. They got nice characters (poor chick), good actors and pretty thrilling plot. In the last episodes everybody was kind of suspicious. If ur a fan of crime I definitely recommend watching.
Someone compared this to Scandi-noir, and I think it's an accurate description of the story of a German detective who shows up after being missing for six days with no memory of what happened to her or to the baby she was about to deliver.
In turns, various theories are considered and pursued, usually accompanied by shouting, drawn guns and red herrings, and while all of the leads seem to have some merit, this series falters in taking too long to investigate each. At some point, you almost give up caring and just start hating everyone.
That's not to say the series is bad; it just needed a sharp-eyed editor to cut it down to about four hours for better storytelling. The resolution feels a bit rushed and is quite surprising (or was to me), but it is satisfactory on the whole.

Another surprisingly good show from Germany...Turkish actors are brilliant, Aylin Tezel is the best with the character she plays. This show is very underrated.

A very thrilling story about a police woman who woke up in the forest without her new born baby. Very thrilling and excellent actors!

This excellently-acted drama series with an ever-unfolding plot is surprisingly good. The performances are what carry us along to the point where you may doubt the sanity of the lead female detective who cannot remember how her baby was taken from her womb. As she gets more and more desperate to find her child and solve the mystery, so too does the intensity increase. It would be bad form indeed to say too much about what develops but if you want an unusual and gripping drama, this is one series that should not be overlooked. As an aside, it is also a stylish exigesis about women and childbirth.
