European production is one of the differentiating factors for Netflix compared to other platforms. We can see this very clearly in Spain: series like Money Heist, Elite, or Muted have easily become some of the most-watched on the VOD service. And, of course, the same happens in other countries like Germany.
From the German country, we had Dark, one of the most prominent series on the platform in the past. With 3 seasons, from 2017 to 2020, it managed to captivate the entire audience. But it hasn’t been the only German production to stand out among the catalog… and a new one has just risen as one of the most-watched in the last year: Sleeping Dog.
A puzzle full of pieces
“Sleeping Dog” is a six-episode thriller, with each episode running for approximately 50 minutes. Despite its recent release, it has already become one of the best series on the platform in 2023. The series revolves around a Berlin police inspector, who has become an outcast after an incident, teaming up with a young prosecutor to investigate a closed murder case.
A suicide in prison leads to the reopening of the case, uncovering far more secrets than they had anticipated. Everything that seemed like evidence turns out to be the opposite, and the puzzle becomes increasingly complex until it all comes together in a final revelation. Undoubtedly, this is a series worthy of a binge-watching marathon, one that grips you from the moment the mystery begins and keeps you hooked throughout.
The creator of “Sleeping Dog” is Oded Davidoff, known in Germany for productions like “Miss Jerusalem.“ The cast is led by Steffen Mennekes, Sandra Bertalanffy, and Egzona Fetahaj, local stars who are aiming to make their mark on the international stage through Netflix.
