What is sick Berlin about?
The young doctor Doctor Parker (Haley Louise Jones) leaves her successful life in Munich. There she successfully worked the geriatric department from the red numbers. New challenge: The emergency room of the most difficult hospital in Berlin - overcrowded, chaotic, aging and in Neukölln. It is only called "lovingly" sick. The staff is understaffed, underpaid and revised. Down -groaned party bonds meet the victims of a shootout. The doctors only endure this with a dose of black humor and if it is not enough, they simply dose the medication with themselves. Sounds completely hopeless, right?

Sick Berlin: This series does nothing wrong
You don't make such a statement lightly. That is well considered.Sick Berlinis a brave series. Nothing is embellished here, only sometimes a situation with humor is dissolved, but the bitter taste remains anyway. The hospital series is as realistic as a series about a Berlin hospital can be. If you have no idea about hospitals or the professional groups employed in it, you quickly realize: this may seem exaggerated, but the whole is based on a deep truth. This becomes clear when doctors abuse medication themselves, the new chief doctor gets a worrying screaming cramp on the first day and wrong decisions are served on the silver platter. People die away under their hands and then the medical instruments don't even work because they are outdated. InSick BerlinEverything is as it is. And sometimes the reality is actually harder than any fiction.

Apple TV+ and ZDF: That works really well
The new Apple TV+ seriesSick BerlinIs a co -production with the. This new collaboration even works so well that we can only hope that a lot more will result from it. At least if you have seen the end of the first season, you can hope for a sequel. However, we want more than a second season. We would like to have a whole suitcase full of new Apple TV+ X ZDF series.
So you don't know that from any medical drama
A hospital is just as good as the people who work in it. Now you want to think that it is damn as easy as possible, after all, they save our lives. But in most cases the opposite is the case. AtSick Berlinit becomes as clear as no other medical drama. The scenes are sometimes difficult to bear, brutal and of course gross. Everyday life in the hospital. There are also approaches between employees, but they are always interrupted by brutal clinic reality at the right moment. The camera work of the series is just as fantastic, you are literally packed on your shoulder and grinded whether you want or not. The unequal duo in the ambulance is just as ingenious. Samirah Breuer and Bernhard Schütz play their role as authentically as the rest of the cast and quickly become a favorite part of the series.
