Criminal: Germany
Created by Jim Field Smith, George Kay
On Netflix
A tense, claustrophobic miniseries built entirely around psychological interrogation, where truth and deception blur in a confined space.
In the interview room, detectives go head-to-head with suspects and try to get to the truth—even if it means breaking the rules and risking it all.
