Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and a short run with a modest audience, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for crime-drama fans. If you loved Goliath or The Lincoln Lawyer, start here.
The mood: Dark and gritty.
The pace: 3 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 45 minutes, about 11 hours in all.
What might put you off: It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

In the final analysis, it all comes down to guilt, different shades of guilt that one assumes in a single moment of thoughtlessness or in months of premeditated planning. Defence Attorney Friedrich Kronberg knows he must tip legal scales of justice in favour of his client for crimes that are never black and white and what they may seem. In German with subtitles.
