Professor T. (German TV series)

Professor T. is a German-language crime drama television series. It is a remake of the Belgian series of the same name, itself inspired by the British series Professor T. The German adaptation stars Ken Duken as Professor Jakob "Professor T." Thiel, a renowned criminologist at the University of Kiel who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and other psychological issues. These conditions significantly impact his personal and professional life, creating both challenges and unique insights into his crime-solving abilities.

The series follows Professor T. and his team of investigators within the Kiel police department as they tackle complex and often disturbing criminal cases. His brilliant, albeit unconventional, methods prove invaluable to solving crimes, despite his personal struggles and reluctance to fully engage with the team. The dynamic between Professor T. and his colleagues forms a significant part of the series, exploring themes of trust, vulnerability, and understanding. The narrative blends elements of psychological thriller and procedural drama, creating a compelling and often unsettling viewing experience. While drawing inspiration from the original series, the German adaptation incorporates its own distinct narrative and character developments, providing a fresh perspective on the Professor T. character and his world.
