Shades of Guilt

2015–2019 · 3 seasons

Quietly unsettling courtroom drama where ordinary people's small mistakes unravel into moral knots you turn over long after.

Overview: In the final analysis, it all comes down to guilt, different shades of guilt that one assumes in a single moment of thoughtlessness or in months of premeditated planning. Defence Attorney Friedrich Kronberg knows he must tip legal scales of justice in favour of his client for crimes that are never black and white and what they may seem. In German with subtitles.
How it feels: Dark, melancholic, cynical and tense. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Guilt, justice, morality, deception
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
