The German version of criminal is in my POV the strongest one. France very close the runner up followed by Uk / Spain.
The cases in Germany are extremely tense. Esp the 1st and 3rd one was gripping from the start. I can understand why the 1st did not resonate with all viewers as it was very German heavy in regards to the Berlin wall and the specific spirit during that time in the country. The twist got me completely off guard. An unusual and clever move from the writers! The 2nd story had also its moments however the reveal was not as impactful as in the previous one. In the 3rd one it got again super taff and it was a psychologically rollercoaster throughout. Great performance by Mrs Hoss.
Clear recommendation. 9/10
France, wow what an achievement! The stories are all 3 tricky and unique. You really felt with the characters and it was hard to watch seeing their life collapsing. Very emotional. Great job! 8.5/10
Spain was hard to watch too but not for the obvious reason. Quite some overacting which was not needed cause of in general great stories. The 2nd one was played very believable and had some gut wrenching moments. 7/10
UK was also a mixed bag in my opinion. Not bad at all but compared to Germany and France not as impactful. Still interesting stories (liked the 1st one the most) police work and investigation. 7/10
