Sleeping Dog is a six-part German crime thriller that's now available to stream on Netflix.
Written by Christoph Darnstädt, the series follows a former detective and an up-and-coming young prosecutor as they both reinvestigate a previously settled murder case.
Both have their own motive for reopening the case, though it proves to be a bigger problem than they'd expect. Soon, they're both pulled into a conspiracy that could run all the way to the top, leading them deeper into the justice system, or could lead them back to a terror attack that rocked the city a year and a half ago.
