In the Face of Crime(2010)

In the Face of Crime is a German television series that follows the Russian mafia operating in Berlin.

Despite its acclaim from reviewers, the series struggled to find a large audience during its broadcast run. It aired on ARTE and Das Erste, Germany's major public broadcasters, bringing an ambitious crime drama to European television that prioritized narrative depth over mainstream appeal.
