“Managing a chaotic emergency room in the toughest and most overcrowded hospital in Berlin is no small task for the young Dr Parker (played by Jones), who is seeking a fresh start in the big city after her private life implodes in Munich,” reads the official synopsis. “When she tries to implement necessary reforms, Parker is confronted with resistance from the underpaid, ill-equipped and chronically fatigued hospital staff who only survive with an indispensable dose of black humour. But in the face of an increasingly merciless healthcare system, the battered team must put aside their differences and pull together to save lives.”

Berlin ER is being produced by Violet Pictures and Real Film Berlin for ZDFneo and Apple TV+, with Violet Pictures’ Alexis von Wittgenstein (Oktoberfest: Beer & Blood) and Real Film’s Emmy Award-nominated Henning Kamm (Unorthodox [+lee también:
