Do you have recommendations of German TV shows?

Okay, I can just make a list of German TV shows with good reviews, haven’t seen a lot of them myself but anyway:

Dark (German Netflix show)

Tatort (some are better than others but it’s just German culture to watch Tatort on Sundays so…)

Türkisch für Anfänger

Stromberg (German “The Office”)

Babylon Berlin (apparently also on Netflix in the US now, idk if anywhere else as well)

Club der roten Bänder

Weissensee
