The German series "Babylon Berlin" [1] is a fictive series about the Weimar Republic before the Nazis got to power.
Berlin Alexanderplatz is apparently also about Berlin the 1920s. It is from 1980, by famous director Rainer Werner Fassbinder. The entire miniseries is ~15,5 hours long. I have yet to see it before my death...

- sverige 7y agoBerlin Alexanderplatz is definitely worth the investment of time if you have any interest in modern German history and culture. Less time than "Breaking Bad" or "The Walking Dead."
- FabHK 7y agoAnd Babylon Berlin is also well worth it - great mise-en-scène, recreation of the time and place (I think... wasn't there :-) and a captivating police/thriller/extortion/revolution story. And it introduces a bit of the political background (the rise of both the communists and the fascists and their assault on the republic), but not annoyingly so.
