This series, from #Germany has twisted and turned a bunch over the course of its three seasons but my Lord, is it watchable. We're able to stream it via SBS OnDemand here in Australia but if you can find it, do yourself a massive favour.

A nursing colleague of mine died just a couple of days ago. She had just retired. She'd given over 40 years to others and the moment it was time for her to enjoy some time for herself, she was taken.
