What to Expect

PremiereLens read

A former gang boss and an aspiring lawyer make for an unlikely heist team, and the show wrings both laughs and real tension from that pairing. Scenes move fast, the plot keeps escalating, and what starts as a straightforward grab at a reserve fund keeps expanding as layers of corruption surface beneath the original scheme.

Seoul's apartment-complex world gives the scheming a specific social texture: the kind of place where money, status, and neighborly resentment already simmer before anyone starts stealing. The tone never fully commits to caper comedy or crime thriller, holding both at once, so a genuinely funny exchange can tip into something with higher stakes before the scene is over.

Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine

Netflix • May 15, 2026

DramaCrime

Berlin reunites his crew in Seville for an elaborate con targeting a powerful duke and his wife who've made the mistake of trying to blackmail him. Their plan involves faking the theft of a priceless painting as cover.

View show

Strongest Match

Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine delivers the same heist-comedy energy as The Apartment Job, with schemes built on deception and a crew that moves like a machine. Watch the confidence and fast, escalating set pieces, where every twist lands as both a joke and a threat, then turn darker and stranger than the Seoul apartment-complex hustle.

Hubert ohne Staller

Das Erste • Nov 12, 2025

Crime

Despite their mismatched styles, police officer partners Hubert and Staller rely on teamwork as they investigate murder cases in rural Bavaria.

View show

Why this pick

Hubert ohne Staller shares The Apartment Job’s mismatched-duo spark, trading a gang boss and lawyer for bickering officers who keep solving problems while arguing. The humor stays close to workplace tension and reluctant teamwork, with a more relaxed, episodic pace and less high-octane heist escalation.

Ms. X

Three • Jun 30, 2026

DramaCrime

Ms. X centres on a woman who teams up with an old high school friend to scare her cheating husband into staying faithful. However, when things turn (accidentally) homicidal, she becomes caught between the cops, the cartel, and a vicious PTA.

View show

Why this pick

Ms. X brings the same darkly funny crime pressure as The Apartment Job, where ordinary settings get squeezed until secrets and danger collide. Suburban chaos escalates through compounding mistakes and multiple threats at once, making the tension feel sharper and more absurd, with fewer clean laughs than the apartment-complex caper.
