Babylon Berlin

One of the reasons I get a fair bit of reading done is that I avoid watching lots of television. On a flight to Germany last week though, I got sucked into watching Babylon Berlin. The series is set in Berlin in the 1920s and is incredibly atmospheric with a rich historical background that is worth learning about.

The song and dance scene above is set at the Moka Efti club, which actually existed, as did many of the historical figures in the series. Of course the plot of the show itself is fictional but one can still learn a lot from it. So if you have not seen it already, I recommend watching Babylon Berlin on Netflix. Bonus: if you speak (or are learning) German, you can watch the show in the original version.
