Berlin policeman finds himself at the center of a political intrigue when his criminal past catches up with him.
Created by acclaimed writer/director Matthias Glasner, the gritty thriller series Blochin is a kaleidoscope of the city of Berlin and its people. It tells the story of the police force of Homicide Division 7 and their families, friends and foes; an intricate reality in which the underworld is inseparable from high society. The eponymous cop, played by Jürgen Vogel, used to work on the other side of the law. He cannot escape his past and has nothing in common with his partner Dominik, other than being married to his sister. Full of deeply flawed characters, Blochin pushes the boundaries between good and evil.
“One of the better crime thrillers that have been produced for German television recently. So if you like gritty crime thrillers and missed this one, you should make up for it.” – Computer Bild
“No doubt that ‘Blochin’ is a real exception, very modernly staged and excellently placed: three evenings in a row at prime time are still considered unusual in Germany. The viewer is strongly challenged, leaning back comfortably in an armchair is not the order of the day here.” – Stern
“’Blochin’ is a step forward!” – DWDL.de
