Review of 13 Geboden

13 Geboden (2017–2018)
8/10
Not seven
14 March 2021
Very reminiscent of Seven, which has become the touchstone for assessing all thrillers with a biblical theme (in one of the episodes a cop sarcastically calls his colleague Brad Pitt in Seven). However, the show stands on its own and the characters are different from Seven. Unlike most other shows where the lead cop has a rebellious and jerk teenage child, the lead detective in this show has a 21 year old daughter who is trying hard to find her own path in life. The characters seem a little dispassionate at times, where you might expect them to exhibit a stronger emotional response, but I guess that saves us from hours of peachy drama so prevalent in the American shows.

The cinematography is very good, with a lot of neon lit night scenes, and the story taut. Recommend a watch.
