I stumbled across "Beat" by accident on imdb, and it wasn't promoted at all on Amazon Prime - I was even surprised to find it there.
It's impossible to write an extended review without spoiling too much of the plot, so I'll keep it short. "Beat" is a German thriller / crime show; it's incredibly well acted with Jannis Niewöhner, Herfurth and Kostja Ullmann (what a pleasant surprise!) shining in their roles. The pace is at times a bit slow, but it never feels out of place and keeps you at the edge of your seat - it's such a gripping, dark storyline. The soundtrack is just superb!
While I did think there were some plotholes, the overall impression is still great. The English translation is mostly well done (can't agree with a reviewer before me), I'm a German and paid attention when I was watching it with my english-speaking partner.
Highly recommended. I hope this show gets some more attention!
