Episodes

View All Seasons
Episode 1 • Mar 25, 2024
Max
The first episode is about Kafka's friend Max Brod. He is a recognized writer, full of energy and ideas, but his biggest project is to gain fame for his friend Franz. This is a kind of reverse Amadeus constellation: Brod tries with all his might to help his difficult friend, who, however, never returns artistic recognition or support to his most loyal supporter. Brod is a manic womanizer, always involved in multiple affairs. He is a warm-hearted person and the center of energy and power in the story. Unfortunately, he is not a good writer - a fact that Kafka is well aware of.
Episode 2 • Mar 25, 2024
Felice
Kafka's fiancee Felice Bauer, cousin of Max Brod, is bombarded with letters. They get engaged without knowing each other well. Their long, complicated relationship sees engagements broken off and renewed before ending.
Episode 3 • Mar 25, 2024
Familie
Kafka's turbulent relationship with his authoritarian father Hermann, his unsent accusatory letter to him, his ties to Zionism, friendship with actor Yitzhak Löwy, and the inspiration behind his seminal work "The Metamorphosis."
Episode 4 • Mar 26, 2024
Bureau
Kafka's career as an insurance lawyer, where he excels but finds the workplace suffocating. During WWI, his superiors exempt him from the draft, recognizing his indispensability, contrasting with the bureaucratic nightmares in his writings
Episode 5 • Mar 26, 2024
Milena
The fifth episode is about Kafka's short but intense relationship with the writer Milena Jesenská, who recognizes his genius in a way that only Max Brod has ever done. During a long afternoon in the Vienna woods, they go through all the phases of a passionate love affair - until they finally separate.
Episode 6 • Mar 26, 2024
Dora
The first half of the last episode focuses on the vacation of Kafka, who was already seriously ill with tuberculosis, in the spa town of Spindleruv Mlýn in the Giant Mountains, which in his imagination is transformed into the dark and mythical village of his last and most famous novel, "The Castle". But he also meets his last great love, Dora Diamant. After he finally escapes the hated office, the two live in Berlin for a few months and spend his last days together in a sanatorium outside Vienna.

The Last Nazi Hunter

The Last Nazi Hunter

70 years after the Holocaust, American born-Israeli citizen, Dr. Efraim Zuroff is tracking down surviving Nazi war criminals in hopes to bring them to justice. Zuroff's mission takes him all over Europe and even South America as he focuses and locates two main criminals; Shandor Kapiro, a Hungarian officer responsible for the murders of thousands of Jews, and Dutch Waffen SS Klass Faber, who oversaw the killings at the Westerbork Camp. THE LAST NAZI HUNTER is a race against the clock, detective thriller that deals with the continuing obstacles of War Criminal extraditions due to lack of support by countries still with Anti-Semitic remnants, as well as the question Zuroff ultimately has to ask himself, will this justice be worth it in the end?
