Henk Handloegten likes to compare Babylon Berlin to Titanic.
“Everyone knows the iceberg is coming,” he says.
For Babylon Berlin, the iceberg is Hitler.
And, in the fifth and final season of the epic German period series, he finally hits.
The series follows homicide detective Gereon Rath (Volker Bruch) and partner Charlotte Ritter (Liv Lisa Fries) as they unravel underworld crimes and political conspiracies in Berlin in the fading years of the Weimar Republic, when the city was a wild mix of cutting-edge science, sexual liberation, avant-garde culture and revolutionary politics.
