Guten Tag! A new German crime drama came to our televisions recently in the UK, which is always an exciting event! In today\u2019s post I\u2019d like to talk about the series and the true story it\u2019s based on. The series is called Dark Woods<\/strong> (\u2018Das Geheimnis des Totenwaldes\u2019 in the original German) and it\u2019s just finished, but you can still watch it via Channel 4 On Demand here<\/a>, if you have access where you are.<\/p>\n

Dark Woods is a crime thriller (der Kriminalthriller<\/strong> – or \u2018der Krimi\u2019,<\/em><\/strong> as the genre is affectionately called in German). It follows the story of two criminal investigators (die Kriminalpolizei<\/strong>) as they try to solve the case of a missing woman, Barbara Neder. Around the time of her disappearance, two separate murders take place in the nearby G\u00f6hrde State Forest (Staatsforst G\u00f6hrde<\/strong>). Are the murders and Barbara Neder\u2019s disappearance linked? The series follows the detectives as they investigate.<\/p>\n

The series (die Serie<\/strong>) has a total of 6 episodes (die Folge: episode<\/strong>), though here in the UK they were shown as three, 2-hour long episodes, instead. The names of each episode are as follows:<\/p>\n
