In “Crooks,” a gripping new miniseries from Germany, Netflix delivers a genre-bending experience that seamlessly blends crime, thriller, action, and dark comedy. When former safecracker Charly (Frederick Lau) is reluctantly pulled back into the world of crime, he finds himself embroiled in a dangerous heist that puts his family’s safety on the line.
As Charly navigates the murky underworld of Berlin, he discovers that the stakes are higher than he ever imagined. With a coveted coin at the center of the chaos, Charly becomes the target of multiple ruthless gangs, including a Berlin clan, a Serbian gang of burglars, a Vienna pimp, the Marseille mafia, and a mysterious master thief. To survive, Charly teams up with Joseph (Christoph Krutzler), a skilled driver with a knack for protection and a secret of his own.
But in this world where alliances shift like shadows, Charly and Joseph must rely on more than just their wits to outmaneuver their adversaries. With danger lurking around every corner, “Crooks” transforms from a heist series into a thrilling tale of survival, where every decision could mean life or death.
Directed by Marvin Kren and featuring an ensemble cast of talented actors, including Svenja Jung, Karl Welunschek, and Georg Friedrich, “Crooks” delivers heart-pounding action, jaw-dropping twists, and laugh-out-loud moments.
