What Berlin is about: code red
Managing a chaotic emergency room in Berlin’s most complicated and overcrowded hospital is no small task for young doctor Parker (Haley Louise Jones), who seeks a new start in the big city after the implosion of her private life in Munich. When he tries to implement the necessary reforms, Parker comes up against resistance from the underpaid, ill-equipped and constantly exhausted hospital staff, who survive only thanks to an indispensable dose of dark humor. Yet, faced with an increasingly unforgiving healthcare system, this battered team must put aside their differences and join forces to save lives.
When Berlin: Code Red comes out on Apple TV+
The series will be released on Apple TV+ starting Wednesday 26 February with the first two episodes of the eight total, followed by a weekly episode until 9 April.
