I started to write a more detailed description of this episode but I don't feel like doing that now.

This show feels very surface level. I'm not feeling much if anything in the way of character moments. It is much more style than substance. There are too many things going on at once. I'm just not feeling it. Nothing about it is grabbing me. I think this will be the last episode for me.

Babylon Berlin 1.01

Episode 1

May 29, 1929

The episode opens with a doctor using hypnosis to get Rath, a police inspector from Cologne, to remember something. 

Rath travels to Berlin and works with Bruno Wolter, of the Berlin Police Department, to track down something or someone. They break up a pornography studio. Krajewski, one of the men in the studio, runs. They catch up to him. He almost kills Rath. Wolter recognizes him. He's a former cop.

The two policemen let Krajewski go but they bring in König, the director of the film. Wolter interrogates him while Rath is busy with other things. Wolter wants to know how König knows Rath but König doesn't have anything to say.
