Award-winning Alina Levshin stars as private detective Doro Decker in Dunkelstadt, a standout new crime series with an intriguing mix of film noir and feminism.
Doro Decker’s late father was a respected police officer, and she had planned to follow in his footsteps. However, Doro has a problem mindlessly obeying orders and finds it hard to bow to authority, putting an abrupt end to her police training. Now she works as a private detective, dealing with clients hoping to catch unfaithful spouses or find lost pets. In her own way, Doro makes the world a little bit better every day. The private detective’s initially harmless cases tend to escalate into dangerous situations. But with the help of her assistant Adnan Musa and charming policeman Chris Lautner, she faces each and every danger. Perhaps one day she will face her inner demons as well.
“’Darktown’, originally narrated and clearly structured, nobly staged and superbly cast, refers narratively and aesthetically to ‘film noir’. Kudos to costume design, make-up & especially Alina Levshin’s iconographic potential.” – Tittelbach.tv
“What makes ‘Darktown’ so worth watching is the visual style of the series. There has never been such a consistent implementation of the noir aesthetic on public TV before. And there has never been such a cool private detective on German TV before.” – Stern
“The fact that it’s still fun to watch Doro Decker with her investigations is mainly due to Alina Levshin and the calm nonchalance with which she plays the role of Doro, refreshingly cool detective.” – Der Standard
