Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I watched the whole season one because it was recommended by a friend to me. In my opinion it has great camera techniqueand storywise the end of the last episode is interesting. If you don't know anything about finance and business at all, you will be surprised and maybe entertained by this story. Otherwise it is boring and the "women are soooo discriminated"-attitude is annoying. Mention it once and concentrate on a real story, not everytime when it is possible.

It was painful getting through the first Episode. It lacks almost any kind of visual timing, composition, dramatization, choreography and editing concept besides this; every time someone speaks, cut to that person. The overall style is hectic and random. I would estimate an average shot-length of 1,64 seconds. It worked for the opening sequence but from that moment on it became pointless. The acting, camera and soundtrack, is average at best. Two stars for attempting to deal with the topic of the financial world.

Excellent! A great mini series about banks and what goes inside their world. Perfect acting, original screenplay.

When my friend suggested me Bad Banks knowing I'm a finance professional who might like it, I reluctantly started watching it thinking of another traditional German TV-Drama; ended up binged all six episodes eventually! Bad Banks is another addition to the excellent German TV productions in recent times along with 'Dark', and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The acting is great, along with a perfectly paced story without stretching it too much like other TV shows. The production quality is top notch and one of the best in recent times, even better than 'Dark' IMHO. My only issue was the lead actress who appeared to be too young sometimes for this role (she's just 23 IRL), even though her acting was great. Overall, a highly enjoyable show and it's a 9.5/10 from me!
