Kafka

The six-part Kafka series combines the enigmatic essence of Franz Kafka’s life and works with a gripping crime narrative. The series features Kafka himself as the protagonist, who is drawn into a harrowing investigation involving ritual murders and political intrigue. Blending historical elements with fiction, the series offers a fresh perspective on Kafka as a young, conflicted man entangled in a dark mystery that will test his sanity, morality, and survival. The plot unfolds in a city of striking contrasts—where the grandeur of secessionist architecture clashes with the decaying, mystical Jewish ghetto, a place shrouded in secrets and marked by deep poverty. The series also explores sinister accusations of ritual murders wrongly attributed to innocent Jews in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, shedding light on the dark prejudices of the time.
