Synopsis
Bad Banks (2018), Season 1 — six-episode German financial drama, watch online on iFILM. Paula Beer plays Jana Liekam, a junior banker fired without notice who lands a position at Frankfurt's Deutsche Invest almost immediately — a lucky break that turns out to be someone else's chess move.
Working under the influential Fenger, Jana chases a multi-billion city project called Leipzig 2025, accepts an insider tip from Christelle Leblanc, and gradually works out that every favour here carries a cost. Fenger stops shielding her. A merger forms behind closed doors. By the final episode, Deutsche Global Invest is teetering and Jana has to face the question she least wants to ask herself.
Season 1 is quieter and more precise than most Wall Street dramas — no screaming traders, just calibrated pressure and slow betrayal. Stream Bad Banks Season 1 online on iFILM.
