Kohlrabenschwarz (Season 1)

Kohlrabenschwarz (2023) is a German crime-comedy series you can watch online on iFILM. Psychologist Stefan Schwab has had enough — overwork, burnout, a divorce — and retreats to the quiet foothills of the Bavarian Alps for some peace. What he gets instead: vanishing children, murdered locals branded as sinners, and ancient folk legends that turn out to have very sharp teeth.

Reluctantly teaming up with detective Anna Leitner and his ex-wife's new partner — a man he has every reason to dislike — Schwab is pulled into an investigation that blurs the line between old mythology and present-day crime. Director Erik Haffner keeps the tone strange and wry in equal measure; the show plays like a deadpan Bavarian cousin of Nordic noir. Stream Kohlrabenschwarz online on iFILM.
