Netflix adds more to their German roster with this new limited series, Sleeping Dog. While it sounds ominous, it is because the series is a psychological thriller focusing on an unreliable narrator. Stories with this kind of a plot are always interesting to see. It gives the incidents more layers, some biases that come into play later in the series and best of all, some sweet, sweet doubt and dilemma for the protagonist. This series is directed by Stephan Lacant and Francis Meletzky, while Christoph Darnstäd serves as the screenplay writer on the crew.
Günter Fenner, Henning Kamm, Sibylle Stellbrink and Ira Wysocki serve as producers on this six-episode series. Each episode is 55 minutes long in duration.
